Ford Complaints

32,237 complaints across 79 models. 824 crash reports.

Owners have filed 32,237 complaints with NHTSA against 11 Ford models in our index, covering model years 2015 to 2025. 824 of those reports describe a crash.

The problem areas owners report most often across Ford vehicles are engine (15,326), other (4,063) and structure (2,958). A high count on a widely sold model is not by itself evidence of a defect — complaints scale with how many cars are on the road, and NHTSA publishes them unverified, as filed.

The most-reported single model year here is the 2017 Ford Escape, with 2,628 complaints, 39 of them citing a crash. Open any model year below for the individual reports and the components involved.
