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.
This year model is a lemon. Ford knows this. I have had two recalls on car. I had to replace my head gaskets which cost me around 1,000 dollars. It took Ford months to refund my money. I bought the car knew it had a chip in the hood. When the dealer repaired it they left tape under the hood. I didn't now about the tape until I tried to trade my car in and they found the tape. The dealer told me he felt the car had been wreck and repaired. Well there goes the trade in value of my car. I called and E-mailed Ford about all of these problems and all I get is I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience with Ford. We hope in the future you have a better one..I will never buy another Ford car. Every car they build has major problems. They take your money and in return you get a piece of junk.
Driver's seat belt is fraying very badly whenever its in use. It would seem to catch onto something when being pulled out to use, and retrack back afterwards. Been to dealer and repaired under warranty 3 years ago. Currently, problem has reappeared. Snice not under warranty, no free repair. Doors do not close properly due to window hitting roof. Roof was repaired under warranty also. This caused window to be out of alignment.
Front end suspension shimmies when driving. Would have lots of play in steering wheel. The temperature guage would run high. The cd player would come on or stop. Would make grinding noise. The door locks on the driver side will not work properly due to power locks not working. The electrical system is not working properly.
