Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING LOSE TO ALL POWER SYSTEMS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER CONTROL MODULE IS THE CAUSE OF THIS. THEY FURTHER STATED IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL OR SOME THING FOR THE NORTHERN STATES. ALSO REPLACED WAS THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR(P0191 CODE). STILL NO RESOLVE TO ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM LOCAL FORD DEALER 10 MONTHS PRIOR (75,000 MILES), AND WAS A DEALER MAINTAINED VEHICLE. I DROVE VEHICLE 3,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND SEVERE VIBRATION MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT COULD NOT MOVE VEHICLE > 1 MPH WITHOUT SEVERE VIBRATION. PROBLEM WAS FROM COMPLETE FAILURE OF DRIVE SHAFT CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS INDICATIONS OF IMPENDING FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED AND COMPLETE. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT VEHICLE CONTROLLABILITY SHOULD A BEARING FAILURE OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IN ADDITION THE BEARING IS LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FUEL TANK. SHATTERED BEARING PARTS COULD POTENTIALLY PENETRATE THE FUEL TANK. THE BEARING IS A NON-SERVICEABLE PART AND THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT MUST BE PURCHASED AT A COST OF $1,000, MAKING BEARING CHANGE PRIOR TO FAILURE HIGHLY UNLIKELY. *TR

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
