Before you buy
Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
Obtain VIN-specific fire-risk, fuel system, and engine recall records.
Verify rear axle bolt and parking system recall completion.
Demonstrate cameras and wipers; inspect second-row seat attachment.
Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
263 complaints filed for this model year, including 17 mentioning a crash, 1 a fire and 23 injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and popular models collect more of them simply because more are on the road.
