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.
I was backing out of a parking stall and turned the steering wheel sharply to the left and heard a breaking sound. When I put the car in drive, it would not move even though the engine was still running. I found that the front wheels were both pointed inwards (pigeon-toed) a severe amount. A flat-bed truck was called to take the car to the Ford dealer for repairs. The report from the Ford dealer is that an outer tie-rod end had broken completely through in what would be characterized as a brittle fracture. According to the dealer, there was a bright clean break not typical of a fatigue failure or a ductile failure.
