About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Had a flat tire and had to install the spare tire that came with vehicle. As soon as I got back on the road, the stability control light, the ABS light and the I-P brake light came on. The car would get only 35 mph. For about 7 to 8 miles, then picked up speed so I could run 50 mph. Until I had the tire replaced. After I had the tire replaced I took the car to a mechanic to have the system reset so the lights would return to normal. The unit that controls this had to be replaced because the difference in tire size had destroyed the control unit. It cost me $313.50 to have a used unit installed, if it had been a new unit, it would have cost over $600. Ford Motor Co. Should have to pay the cost of this replacement because the damage was caused by equipment that was supplied with the vehicle when new.
