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.

WE BOUGHT A NEW MOTORHOME IN 2/06 AND IT HAS JUST SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC ON US IN 5/06 (IN A FORD REPAIR SHOP FOR A WEEK) & 6/06. WE LOST ABILITY TO STEER AND TO BRAKE, SO IT'S HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. IT'S IN A FORD REPAIR SHOP AGAIN, TODAY IS THE 11TH DAY, & THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, SO IT PROBABLY WON'T BE FIXED RIGHT AGAIN!!!!*JB
