Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
1. The vehicle jumps when being put into gear and sometimes slips or is delayed as well. It also has a sound that goes along with it. This has been a problem since the first started driving the vehicle. Like many issues with this vehicle it is not consistent, however I estimate that this happens 75% of the time. 2. I have bumped are in my car port multiple times. I've stayed very vigilant as, it has jumped a couple times when I'm in a parking lot at a busy shopping area and people are walking in the lot. It feels very unstable and unpredictable. The whole car jerks. 3. I have been to the dealership for other issues related to the auto start stop not working and engine failure from the 23V905 recall. I am not sure if this was part of the inspections. 4. There are no warning indicators for this. It happens and is jarring. Note below, it is not one incident date, it is constant.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
1. The back up camera and screen glitch, freeze, go black unpredictably. 2. I've backed into objects, thankfully so far nothing that has caused major damage. It is potentially very dangerous, as sometimes it freezes mid back-up and there is an optical illusion. 3. I'm not quite sure what the question is. The problem is intermittent, and to have all of the issues with the vehicle checked is cost prohibitive and time prohibitive. It malfunctions out of nowhere. 4. I do not know if the dealership inspected when they replaced my engine and turbo , then 3 days later vacuum hose as a "temporary" band aid to the unresolved safety recall 23V905. 5. There is no warning which is dangerous.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
1. The window intermittently and without warning will freeze, or decided not to go up or down. I'm assuming it's electrical, but do not know for sure. 2. I live in a city where I need to be able to have an operating window. It's not safe to have a window stuck open, as there are carjackings, robberies and various other safety hazards. 3. I first happened in 2018 or 2019 and I drove it to the closest dealership which is about 8 miles (city) from where I live. When I arrived to show the service person, it decided to start working again, so they didn't do an intake and sent me on my way. This happened 2 more times, where I started to make my way to have it looked at and it began working again. I've given up and do not have unlimited finances to have every glitch with this vehicle diagnosed. They charge just to look at it. 4. I don't know 5. There is no warning at all, or pattern to triggers. It happens anywhere between 12 and 24 times a year.

Defect Description:
AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
I was involved in a front end collision [XXX] that caused my vehicle to be totaled and me to be transported to the hospital via an ambulance. I purchased the vehicle with the understanding that it had numerous safety features including airbags throughout. During this accident my impact completely crumpled my engine compartment and left portions of my engine were left lying around. The only airbag to deploy was the skirt one below the steering wheel column. The curtain one over my driver door and the steering wheel one did not deploy. I sustained a concussion, post concussion syndrome, chest wall injury, hematoma and abrasions to my left arm and both legs. The bruises sustained to my abdomen make it look like I am still wearing my seatbelt. The post concussion syndrome has caused me memory loss for the entire day, before and after the accident other than a moment here or there. I cannot remember the accident or what led up to it. I continue to have headaches and nausea. I am really just looking for answers on why my other airbags did not deploy. Ford has declined to inspect the airbags unless I agree to have the vehicle brought to one of their inspection locations. Thank you [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
