Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Powertrain (other) reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGH-TRAFFIC, FOUR-LANE SURFACE STREET, BOTH REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS FAILED UNDER ACCELERATION. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE REAR AXLE TO TWIST, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO SHIFT POSITION, AND FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT U-JOINTS TO BIND. THE RESULT WAS AN EFFECTIVE LOSS OF POWER AND AN IN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE TO MATCH TRAFFIC FLOW. SEVERAL VEHICLES HAD TO BRAKE HARD OR SWERVE INTO THE ADJACENT LANE TO AVOID THE OBSTRUCTION MY VEHICLE CREATED. *TR

THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO FORD DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS A BAD GEM MODULE AND TOLD US THAT IT WAS GETTING WET. THEY STATED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THESE PROBLEMS ARE WORSE WHEN IT RAINS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN IF IT IS HUMID. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY EVERYTIME WE PARK THE VEHICLE. BUT IF WE DON'T, WE HAVE ALL OF THIS GOING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND THEN THE BATTERY GOES DEAD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THESE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING AT ONE TIME, IT WAS RAINING. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO GET THE WIPERS TO FUNCTION AND GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD UNTIL ALL OF THIS STOPPED. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER BACK IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. AS THE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE, I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT FORD KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE GEM MODULE, JUST AS THEY KNEW ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT. AS I STATED ABOVE, THEIR ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY KNEW EXISTED, IS TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY EVERYTIME I PARK THE VEHICLE. *NM
