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.
Transmission failure while traveling at 65 mph on interestate. The transmission shifted roughly while in overdrive, causing the engine to race and bog down. Service engine soon light came on. Estimated cost of repair is $1600. This occured even after the lube tube was replaced by Ford as part of a recall program.
While turning into a parking place at the movie theater, the car suddenly seemed to have slipped into neutral gear, even though the gear indicator did not move from the drive position. I tried to change into reverse and drive and low gears but the car did not move. I had to have it towed and ended up needing $2,000 worth of transmission repairs. I bought the car(used-one previous owner) in Aug 2001 and I still have an auto loan which I am paying, so this bill has devastated me. I have had several "major" problems with the car, but this was the worst.
Was driving vehicle without cruise control on or foot on gas pedal, and vehicle started picking up speed for no reason. Took vehicle to dealership & was informed normal procedure for vehicle. Had the transmission & torque convertor replaced anyway.
