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.
While driving the vehicle shut off. It was difficult for the driver to restart the vehicle. Consumer took the vehicle to a nearby mechanic who diagnosed the problem as a failed intake manifold. The mechanic pointed out that the failure had occurred in the plastic part of the manifold. The replacement part was ordered, which was also made of plastic. Consumer was informed that he was the third customer with intake manifold problems within that month. Ford has modified that part by adding a piece of metal to it.
