SEATS
Potential Consequences:
Driver's side seat: I use heated seat at times along with a/c to help my lower back pain. On [XXX] I was using it. I moved my right leg as I was driving with cruise control and I felt some skin tear off of the back of my thigh. Of course, it hurt and I immediately put my hand down and the seat was ridiculously hot! I had to keep my hand cupped underneath as I pulled off on the next exit. My daughter, [XXX] , was with me to witness this. She took pics in the gas station bathroom. I had 3 blisters total and 1 had ripped open with the skin hanging on the side. I have diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. Not a good combination with a defective heated seat that overheats to the point of blisters!

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Power steering on the vehicle failed without any warning or notice. It happened just as car was being parked. If the incident had happened while driving, our family would have been in grave danger. This is the second major issue with the relatively new car, in addition to the two safety recalls. Ford should be held accountable for faulty engineering that is unsafe and could take lives.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I don't do much interstate/expressway driving but after an 80 mile trip yesterday, my ears last night had tinnitus hiss and it continues today, The sound inside the car was a continuous loud medium high-pitched sound. This vehicle's engine is noisy as you pick up speed but not unacceptable. This sound was eminating from the road and amplified through the vehicle chassis and interior driving chamber and easily cancelled out any noise coming from the engine compartment. This sound was high enough that a horn or siren could be canceled out unless right on a tight perimeter of the car.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Shortly after we purchased our car, we started hearing strange noises and experiencing intermittent reduction in handling, especially when the car is running on gas. We were made aware of recall Number23S27, and the symptoms we experienced are similar to those mentioned in the recall. We have taken the car to the Ford dealer several times and each time we were told that, while it may very well be related to the recall, there is nothing they can do due to the in availability of parts from Ford. Given the serious nature of the recall and the failure of the manufacturer to provide a timely solution (they promised a fix in Q4 of 2023), we are filing this complaint seaking redress.
