95 complaints for 3 model years. Not sure how many 3.5 EB's they sold in that time but it has to be more than 100,000. Want to guess how many other motors during that period had 100 or less complaints? Or does anyone have reliable information on the numbers?
96 out of 400,000 sold in 3 years, less than 1/25 of 1%
The NHTSA says IT has received 95 complaints… the article doesn’t say how much data about reported problems was turned over to them from Ford as required by law… it is also common for recalls to expand as time goes on… this is especially true on complaints that linger for years and span different models…
The correct question is in fla-gypsy post… does anyone have reliable information on the numbers…
I would bet those having the problem feel it is a serious safety defect and that the NHTSA has been sitting on their laurels and taking their good old time in issuing a mandatory recall… when it yours only one number matters and the total number is immaterial…
