I HAVE A 2005 FORD ECO SPORT BOUGHT ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CUT OUT AT LOW REV'S. I HAD THE JETS CLEANED AND HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN IT CUT OUT AT ABOUT 60-80KM/HR AS I SLOWED FOR A CURVE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, AS I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES OR STEERING. *TR

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
