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.
Fords dealership are rude, worker broke other parts on your cars and don't let you know. You are not able to trust the saleman, the quote you agreed to pay was change on the way into the financial person. I will never buy another Ford. They do not stand behind their cars. I have never had this experience before. I changed dealships and the same business. I did fine one nice person toni. I have a 2000 Ford Focus for anyone who want O buy it for the balance.
The first time that this happened I was traveling at 50mph. My car began to lose power and become hard to control, then it stalled leaving my coasting trying to find a safe place to pull over. I took my car into the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump and several other parts. The second time it happened I was again traveling at 50mph, when again I lost power to the car and was left coasting. I believe that this is a serious problem and a very unsafe problem when you have a car with power steering and you loose power it makes it eatremely hard to control the vehicle as well as a car that just coasts. I would like to see something done about this serious defect in these cars.
When fuel level is at half a tank vehicle stalls at highway speeds. This condition has gotten worse over last 4 months, vehicle currently stalls at any time/ speed no matter what fuel level is, and on a daily basis. Dealer cannot find cause.
While traveling approximately 30 mph vehicle stalled out and lost control, causing it hit a curb. Damaged right front wheel and suspension. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
Vehicle stalled while slowing down and would not restart. Dealer/manufacturer were not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further detrails on this matter.
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.
Vehicle stalls without warning at various speeds. Losing all power and steering wheel locks up. Dealer notified 4 times. First 3 times they did nothing, fourth time they said they replaced air intake valve. The morning after we got the car out of the shop it stalled again while driving 55mph. We are tired of getting the run around and are hesitant to contact dealer again concerning this problem. 2nd problem- put key into ignition and key wouldn't turn. Car had to be towed to dealer where they kept it for a week. I was told it had to do with the ignition cylinder and key had to be coded. These are only 2 of the many problems we have had with our vehicle, but it is ridiculous for a new car to have so many malfunctions and problems.
While consumer was driving gas tank cover blew off the tank and gas was spilling every where. Consumer states vehicle has experienced problems with the sending unit and gas gauge. Wheel bearings on the left rear failed. Transmission fluid leaks, consumer states this is causing slippage and shifting problems. Vehicle experiences a burning oil smell. Wiring harness failure. Light failure (consumer did not specify). Gas leaks. Failed suspension parts (consumer did not specify). Tires wear prematurely (consumer did not give tire information). Splash shields broke. Brocking wires in central locking system.
While driving vehicle would shut down without prior warning. Power would completely go out, no steeering or hazard lights. Consumer would turn engine off, and start back up. This has occurred on numerous occasions. Dealer was unable to duplicate, so was not able to provide remedy.
Engine stalled four times during normal operation. Dealership examined vehicle and replaced fuel pump and lines. Then in middle of July, while traveling at approximately 40 mph and entering highway, vehicle stalled again. Dealer stated that problem was no longer covered under warranty. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Vehicle has stalled 4 times at speeds between 45 - 75 mph in hot/ dry weather. Consumer took vehicle to dealer 3 times so far, and dealer could not remedy problem.
When driving at any speed and without prior warning vehicle stalls out, causing loss of power. Consumer has contacted dealer fourteen times since the purchase date.
This vehicle is clearly one of multiple problems and should be investigated. Engine cooling, transmission braking and starter issues. Ford protecting self as usual.
I would like to submit a complaint against crossroads Ford in raleigh, nc who has me drivinig a death trap. I least this vehicle last year (2000 Ford Focus) and only put 9000 mile on it to date. Even so, it has been shutting off while driving at 45+ miles per hour. When it shuts off I do not have steering capabilities. More than once I was in the fast lane and was in very dangerous situations. Once I went into a ditch with my four year old son in the car and to this day, he still remembers it. Ford has refused to take ownership of this problem and has not fixed it. This is my sixth lease or purchase from Ford and I am appauled at the treatment. I think they are waiting for another Firestone incident, for me to lose my life, before they recognize the problem.
Upon recieving a service history report the consumer found out that one month prior to purchase the vehicle was in the repair shop for motor and engine problems, this information was never disclosed to the consumer prior to purchase. Nlm
Vehicle vibrated real hard when it started up and cut off. It has been to dealer 5 times. Dealer has replaced computer, and changed ignition key and more. Dealer has never said why, and didn't have a remedy to problem. Consumer has tried lemon law, but vehicle was over the mileage at that time. Consumer called Ford, and was told to work it out with dealer. Problem is still not resovled.
