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.
A coil pack has failed four times in the last 3 months. When it starts going bad the car lurches (looses and regains power multiple times) when you are accellerating, and stalls when you decellerate. Both issues are safty issues as the loss of power when accellerating could cause a drivers timing to be bad (for instance when leaving a side street into on coming traffic), and the stalling cuts all of the power equipment. I have asked Ford to replace all of the coil packs now, instead of continuing to leave me in dangerous cituations, and they have not done so to date. As Ford doesn't pay for rental cars it is also getting real expensive for me to replace each coil pack when it goes out. The dealers service agent told me that this is a prevelent issue with Ford.
