Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:CONTROL MODULE filed July 28, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1760105 (ODI reference 11426844) concerns a 2005 FORD CROWN VICTORIA and was filed on July 28, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 24, 2021. The vehicle had 139,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Indiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:adas:control module, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD CROWN VICTORIA cohort independently describe similar electrical system:adas:control module failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 FORD CROWN VICTORIA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
