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.
The windows fog up and will not defrost unless the van is in one spot running. On below zero weather the windows fog up then frost over we had ice on the inside of the window. We have taken the van back to brown's 3 times and the have not fixed the problem yet. I have 4 children and I'm not able to use the van in the winter months because I can not see out the window. I've contacted Ford and they call brown's and talked to mike in servce and he said he would get the van in again but didn't contact us at all after that and that has been months ago. I need this problem fixed soon for the safety of my children. Thank you.
Driving down the highway at 72mph when the motor suddenly, without any warning stopped running. Traffic had to steer around me to avoid a collision, had it towed to repair shop and they said I lost the lower end of the motor will need a new motor to replace it. The heater stopped working due to a defective head gasket.
Consumer noticed vehicle idling a bit rough and jerking on highway. The heater was not working correctly, then consumer noticed the temperature gauge was at the highest temperature possible. Consumer took vehicle to a mechanic who took the engine apart, and saw that the head gasket was faulty, then replaced it. There were other problems due to faulty head gasket which all were repaired.
