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.

PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN #92V006000. OUR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH STARTED "STICKING" IN JANUARY 2001. IT WOULD OPEN EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. IN JANUARY 2002 HOWEVER, IT COMPLETELY STOPPED OPENING AT ALL. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH ON AND ROLL DOWN THE POWER WINDOW AND REACH OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER HERE IN WASILLA, ALASKA, WHO IS NYE FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL IS NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM WITH FORD AND THEREFORE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER ON RECALL MATTERS. I AM SUBMITTING A SEPARATE COMPLAINT FOR SAID PREVIOUS ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET THIS DOOR LATCH REPAIRED. THANK YOU.*AK

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.
