Recent Vehicle Complaints and Problems
RECALLED VEHICLES: Ford Fusion – Ford Escape
RECALL: Ford is issuing a recall for nearly 550,000 2013-2016 model year Ford Fusion and 2013-2014 Ford Escape vehicles due to a rollaway risk safety hazard. Ford says shifter cable bushings need to be replaced on the affected vehicles.
RECALLED VEHICLES: Ford F-150 – Ford Expedition – Lincoln Navigator
RECALL: Ford and Lincoln are recalling 7580 of its 2018 model F-150 pickups and Expedition and Navigator SUVs over a faulty fuel-pump assembly. Fuel pumps on turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engines might have misaligned welds, which could lead to a fuel or oil leak.
VEHICLES:
- Kia Recall Air Bags
RECALL: In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (ACU) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags and seat belt pretensioners from deploying. If the frontal air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems. The remedy for this recall is still under development.
VEHICLES:
- Chrysler Recall Cruise Control
RECALL: These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle’s wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating. If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
VEHICLES:
- 2018 Jeep Cherokee
RECALL: These vehicles may have been manufactured with a fuel tube that may leak fuel into the engine compartment. A fuel leak in the presence of the ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
