What owners wrote
“Driving the suv, and experienced power loss. Getting on expressway, the motor was acting erratic, and check engine light was on and off. Took to Ford dealer and they said the engine was no good, coolant leak. So I went to other dealers and all said the same. Finally went to Langs Automotive, and they did a long block engine replacement. The suv has 60,000 miles! Without the replacement the suv was a danger to drive.”

If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
