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.

BOUGHT THE VAN USED IN JUNE 2012 WITH 139000 MILES ON IT. THE VAN STARTED TO STALLS WITHOUT WARNING RIGHT AWAY. AT A STOP MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR. HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP HOPING NOT TO GET HIT BY TRAFFIC. WAIT ATLEAST 30 SECONDS THEN THE VAN WILL START AGAIN. THE USED CAR DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR IT AND THOUGHT THEY HAD BUT STILL STALLS. HAVE HAD THE VAN INTO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING THE FORD DEALERSHIP. NOTHING COMES UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THE CONDITION IS WORSEN IN WARM WEATHER. HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. PLEASE HELP. THIS CONDITION NEEDS TO FIXED EVEN IF IT DOESN'T SUPPORT A RECALL. *TR

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
