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 we were driving on I-84 near middleton, id, our gas pedal (throttle pedal) un-welded (fell off) completely. We got to the side of the road (it slowed down--wasn't "stuck" at any speed) and didn't have an accident. We were towed to caldwell, id, where a mechanic repaired it. I think he put in 3 nuts/bolts to keep the pedal affixed. I have called Ford Motor Co. (did on 8/16/10), but obviously this could've been very dangerous. We got lucky. I wonder if other Ford have had welded parts fall off/un-weld while driving.
Gas gauge does not move when filled with gas or while driving. Cause unkown. Dealer cannot correct problem. The temperature gauge is erratic, dealer replaced a wiring harness, however this did not work, dealer can not remedy the erratic temperature gauge or the inaccurate gas gauge.
