This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Windshield had cracked and was replaced, approximately one month later the windshield cracked again in the exact same spot, nothing had hit the windshield on either times that it had cracked. Air conditioner drains inside the car to the drivers side floor. Brakes squeak, dealer replaced rear brake shoes, however noise is still there. Steering wheel was peeling, dealer replaced it. Vehicle will not start at times, dealer reprogrammed the PCM and replaced the fuel pump. Transmission slips into neutral while driving, it will not shift into reverse until after about 10 seconds, dealer has replaced the mlp sensor and transmission range sensor to attempt to correct problem yet it still continues, transmission lines leaking and dealer replaced lines. Noise coming from under the hood. Hood rattled, dealer adjusted and lubed the hood stops. Engine races at times, vehicle hesitates and feels like it is going to stall.
Intermittent failure of signal lights/ brake lights/ speed control, and air conditioning. Vehicle been in dealer shop on two occasions, and problem still reoccurring. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
Air conditioning unit emits ozone as confirmed by test strips. Ozone exceeds permissible limits. Suspect motor or other electrical problem. Dealer unaware of any other complaints.
Rear brakes would make squealing noises when stopping. Three different times fuel guage failed to register correct fuel. If air conditioner was on, a cloud came out of vents. Also, tape deck had an electrical short/ vehicle would vibrate while it was idling., and engine revved on its own. Vehicle felt like it was slipping into neutral.
Brakes to this date continue to be a problem; grinding, squeeling, etc; cruise control sticks, airconditioner leaks, sometimes ignition switch turns sometimes not, car vibrates excessively, car speeds up and slows down on its own, and stalls occassionally...received recall on rear drum axle but nothing from Ford on anything else. I do not feel safe in this vehicle.
The air conditioner valve failed causing condensation to leak underneath the floor mat of the drivers side thus resulting in mildew formation and deterioration of the floorboard. Nlm
When the air conditioning is on, there is a large amount of condensation dripping behind the center column and onto the gas pedal causing it to be very slippery.
Carpet on passenger's side was wet. Contacted dealer, they installed a box to catch the moisture of the condensor. Next day, could smell a musty odor. Husband has a lung condition, and has not been able to sit in the car. Contacted the manufacturer. Manufacturer claimed it was faulty workmanship from the dealership.
