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.

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.

FORD ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL IN OCTOBER OF 2007 NUMBER 05S28 AS REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA. TO THIS DATE THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED SUFFICIENT REPAIR PARTS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THEY CAUTION THAT YOU SHOULD NOT PARK THE VEHICLE NEAR HOME OR OTHER STRUCTURES. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE THE DEFICIENT PART DISCONNECTED UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IS THIS ACTIVITY CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA GOALS ON SAFETY RECALLS? THEIR FIX SEEMS TO BE THAT CONSUMER TO BE SAFE SHOULD NOT USE THE PRODUCT THEY HAVE PAID FOR. CAN NHTSA FORCE FORD TO COMPLY WITH THE INTENT AND SPIRIT OF SAFETY RECALLS? *TR
