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.
Ford (hq and dealer) have been repeatedly contacted on these issues. Ford's internal review board issued aruling stating that no compensatory action is appropriate. Ford issued an offer to have a district representative oversee a representative within fourteen days of their ruling, which I did not receive until the offer had expired. I have taken the vehicle to another Ford garage with similar denial of anything wrong being wrong with the vehicle. Their is obviously something wrong with the brakes - they squeal almost continuously. Also, the engine / transmission power loss, vibrations, and intermittent hesitations have increased since my ownership of the vehicle. I am interested to see if other consumers have experienced similar problems and how these problems have been rectified. The issue with the bar in the seat developed within six months, I have simply dealt with it, until now as I have read on your site that other consumers have had this same problem. I request that I be contacted for informational purposes only, at this time, by the NHTSA, as I do not wish to deal with Ford or the indicated dealer(s) any longer. Also, the pa. Atty general's office - Consumer Affairs, was contacted with no action other than "documentation of the incident".at. No safety defec tlisted in summary.
While my car was parked in my driveway (off) the car engine caught fire. The fire took place approx 15 minutes after it was turned off. It had only been driven for approx 3 minutes. There were no signs that a fire was about to begin. Ie; smoke or temp indicator reading hot.
