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.
Vehicle keeps cutting off while driving it. In the mornings vehicle does not want to start. Also, mechanic told him that it was an electrical problem, and they could not find the cause.
This vehicle is in the shop on a pretty regular basis for one defect or another. Especially eletrical defects. As of today, 05/21/2001 the "check engine light" is on and car is going back to the shop. I have contacted Ford several times at diff. Levels with no real help. I am paying too much money on a lease to be out a car once a month. I know lemon laws don't apply but can't I get some help here?
Anti-lock system brake light comes on, and brakes don't operate properly. Dealership is aware of problem. Vehicle was stuck in park, dealer replaced the brake lamp switch, a few weeks later, the ABS light illuminated, vehicle had no brake lights or signal lights, no window power, or radio and cd power, dealer replaced the brake lamp switch again, consumer states 3 days after purchase the alarm switch went off and locked vehicle, ignition switch has been replaced twice.
