I am formally reporting a serious safety incident involving the original factory-supplied tire jack provided with our 2024 Ford Expedition Limited. Vehicle: 2024 Ford Expedition Limited VIN: [XXX] Incident Date: [XXX] Location: [XXX]. While attempting to change a tire, my husband, [XXX], experienced a sudden loss of stability when the factory-supplied jack slipped, causing the vehicle to fall and trapping him underneath. My husband underwent total knee replacement surgery approximately two and a half months ago. The Expedition came down onto his surgically repaired leg, potentially causing…

On [XXX] I was grabbing my wallet from the center console of the vehicle and the peeling chrome piece tore my left ring finger open. It was a flap tear that required an urgent care visit to fix/stop the bleeding. They applied derma bond and other bandaging to help stop bleeding and heal the wound - I also had to go back into urgent care on [XXX] to re-treat the wound after the initial bandaging fell off. My local dealer (Greiner) inspected the vehicle on [XXX] and provided a repair order to prove that the chrome trim piece was indeed peeling and sharp and subject to the recall. I contacted…

Hood striker fasteners failed allowing hood to separate from striker at highway speed resulting in hood flying open, striking and damaging windshield and blocking view of driver. Photos from incident scene and subsequent dealer inspection agree on fastener failure as the striker was found fully latched into the retainers. Fortunately, driver was in an outer lane and able to navigate to shoulder and stop vehicle without further damage.

This was a rental vehicle obtained from Budget at [XXX]. On XXX at approximately 2:45 p.m., while driving south toward [XXX], the Ford Expedition developed increasingly severe rumbling and shaking and became difficult to control. All occupants noticed the condition. We reduced speed and pulled off at the first safe available location at approximately 3:00 p.m. rather than continue driving. After stopping, we inspected the left-rear wheel and found a snapped wheel stud and a missing lug-nut position. Multiple actual threaded lug nuts were loose enough to be turned by hand. Budget roadside…

I recently discovered that the car seat harness is fraying on both sides. This is near the base (by hips of child in seat) where they enter the cushion and connect to the car seat. I think this is a defect and poses a risk, especially if I were to get in an accident. When I submitted a complaint with photos to Baby Jogger they replied "After reviewing the concern, please note that fraying is not considered a manufacturing defect. Fraying occurs gradually through normal use and wear over time rather than from a single incident and should be addressed before it gets worse. As a result, this type…

To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
