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.

GAS TANK LEAKING HAZARD. RED MCCOMBS FORD SAYS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED HOWEVER VEHICLE HAS ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. ITEMS MENTIONED IN RECALL TO FIX PROBLEM OF TANK ARE NOT IN PLACE ON THIS VEHICLE; (IE: LONGER TANK STRAP, TANK REPLACEMENT IF CRACKED, SPACER INSTALLATION.) SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 99V309000 TANK IS CRACKED AND I'M CONCERNED. RED MCCOMBS WANTS MONEY TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND SEE IF THE RECALL WAS DONE. I CAN 100% ASSURE THAT IT WAS NOT DONE. SOMEHOW I WOULD LIKE A REISSUE OF THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE SO THAT IT CAN BE PROPERLY BE TAKEN CARE OF AND SAFE ON THE ROAD WAY. *NM

HEAD GASKET FAILED THE FIRST TIME, REPLACED UNDER RECALL #98M01, THEN TIMING COVER GASKET AND ORING FAILED, WAS REPLACED AND PAID FOR BY OWNER, ENGINE THEN FAILED COMPLETELY. SALVAGED ENGINE INSTALLED AND PAID FOR BY OWNER AT 95,563 MILES. SALVAGE ENGINE HAD 45,000 MILES ON IT JAN 1999. VAN NOW HAS A 110,000 TOTAL VEHICULAR MILES ON IT AND SECOND ENGINE HAS FAILED. FORD DOES NOT WANT TO REIMBURSE FOR ENGINE FAILURE BEFORE 100,000 MILES AND WILL NOT REPLACE HEAD GASKET ON SECOND ENGINE ON RECALL #00M09, SINCE THERE IS OVER 100,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING FOR US SINCE OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS WE HAVE PURCHASED ROUGHLY $85,000 WORTH OF FORD VEHICLES (MAINLY F-SERIES TRUCKS) AND HAVE HAD EXTREMELY GOOD LUCK WITH THE TRUCKS BUT NOT THE MINIVAN. *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.
