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 backing out of a driveway at approximately 5 mph a bolt in drivers seat unexpectedly broke and caused seatback to fall into second row of seats. As a result, driver's foot hit accelerator pedal, increasing speed of vehicle, and lost control. Vehicle traveled an estimated distance of 50-60 feet before crashing into a tree. Driver received minor head and shoulder injuries. Vehicle has not been examined by the dealership. Please provide any additional information / documentation. Note: Part is available for inspection.
Moving approx 5mph in parking lot - truck started to stall - pressed accelerator - throttle engaged full open - running into truck in front of us. Had to put vehicle in neutral & turn off engine to stop forward motion. Brakes would not hold.
Throttle has gotten harder and harder to press down. It feels like a brick until stepping down on it to go, then it makes vehicle go faster than inteneded. Dealer stated that throttle body needed to be replaced due to a malfunction.
Most problems have simply been a nuisance, especially on top of the six recalls on my vehicle. Including 5 recalled tires which took two months to replace and showed serious signs of tread separation. However, four days ago while driving on the highway, the gas pedal became lodged to the ground. I reacted by putting my foot under the pedal and pulling it forward. The pedal then fell off and became lodged under the brake pedal. I was lucky to get off the road safely.
While driving about 15 mph touched gas pedal and vehicle accelerated on its own, and pedal went to floor, where consumer pressed brakes pedal to stop, but did not stop until turned off ignition switch. The vehilcle accelerated on its own three times.
PE00020 ; airbag module light came on the dashboard intermittently. Throttle was stuck, and vehicle suddenly accelerated/T hood latch bolts were defective, and and the Firestone #ATX P23575 R15 dot vdul tire tread separated. Has contacted Firestone, and they put on a waiting list.
Car accelerator locked and accelerated from 62 mph to about 73 mph. Brake unable to slow car for an extended distance (about a mile). Had to shift into neutral to get car to full stop. Very similar to recalls described in regional recall Ford 95S29, no. 96S59, no. 97S65, no. 97S67 no. 97S96.
When stepping on the accelerator vehicle does not accelerate. Among other problems, the engine and the main sensor module have also been replaced. Dealer has been contacted, but has not been able to duplicate the acceleration problem.
Accelerator sticks. Also, went out of cruise control and vehicle did not slow down, just kept going. Throttle replaced two times. Dealer cannot remedy problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
