“I had damage to my electrical system caused by rodents chewing wires. Upon researching this issue I have found that Ford Motor Company has used soy-based wire coatings which has led to this being a consistent problem with this vehicle. Not only did this cost me $1,500+ dollars to repair which is not covered by warranty it clearly presents a safety hazard in a hybrid vehicle with a high voltage system. It isn't right that Ford Motor Company sticks me with this bill nor is is right that this is allowed to go on without them being responsible to replace affected wiring.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jan 2025
“Brakes failed, car crashed, imminent crash warning system did not come on and air bags did not deploy in direct frontal crash.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Sep 2022
