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 07 Lincoln only has around 80,000 miles on it and has water leaks causing water to pool in the floor boards thereby causing the potential for rust, electrical issues and the hazards that could result therefrom. A quick online search will reveal to you that these leaks are incredibly common and very well known among Lincoln owners and dealers alike (very, very common problem due to manufacturer defects) but Ford refuses to do anything about it. Given how widespread this problem is it seems that the right thing to do would be for Ford to issue a recall and repair these things. Problem appears to affect 99'-11 models. Thank You
Water accumulates on floor front and rear. Passenger sidethe car can be in motion or stationary during rain or going through car wash. We had a 2001 towncar with the exact same problem. After googling this issue I find there are many autos with this problem. What we spend for these autos this should have been resolved by manufacturer years ago!
I was doing 65 on the 60 freeway in city of walnut ca. And all of a sudden my car began to accelerate full speed, I looked at my dash just to see if cruise control was on, "which it was not" so I pressed the brake but the car kept on accelerating so I had to hold the brake down as hard as I could but despite doing that I was doing between 60 and 70 mph, I could not even get the car to go less than 60 mph no matter what, my exit came and I could not even get off by this time I had to swerve around cars because I could not slow down I was already panicking I really thought I was going to die finally after a few more seconds the car stopped accelerating and I was in control I need help to have this corrected as soon as possible please. Thank you
The car was idling as I was preparing to leave my employer's parking lot. My foot was on the brake. At the moment I shifted the car into drive, the engine raced and lunged forward. With my foot firmly on the brake, the rear tires screeched, but the brakes kept the car from moving more than several feet.. within several seconds, I was able turn off the key and return the shift lever to park. I tried to duplicate the problem in a safe area, but could not. My foot was not on both pedals (brake and accelerator) simultaneously as the engine was as idling when I shifted into drive. There is no floor mat to interfere with normal operation. The brake pedal was in a "raised" position- a feature of the car. I was not familiar with the "sudden acceleration" problem other drivers had reported previously, but I did read about problems associated with the raised brake pedal and the close proximity of the accelerator pedal (within the past few days). Before researching the possible cause of this incident, I thought the problem might have been associated with the linkage of the two pedals. Now, I'm convinced the issue will not be an easy fix.
