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.
My 2000 Lincoln Ls has allready bad front wheel bearings at 42000 miles. The left set has been replaced a month ago (seems that the bearings were not properly greased at assembly plant) at a cost of over $200 and now the right hand bearing is failing.this failure could cause the wheel to come off at great peril to the persons in the vehicle (interstate at 70 mph)
My wife reported this incident yesterday, but without the V.I.N. motor trend's car of the year had a major failure while I was driving, fortunately in a parking lot, at a very low speed. There was a spontaneous loss of control (there was no contact with anything else), followed by partial detachment of the front left wheel from the vehicle. This occurred as a result of fracture of a bolt securing the lower contol arm. The vehicle was rendered undriveable, as the wheel was turned 90 degrees. Obviously, a similar incident at a higher rate of speed would likely have resulted in major injury. I thought it was important to report this to you because, incredibly, it is Ford Motor Co.'s policy not to do so automatically!
