1995 FORD PROBE — Complaint #412360

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:LUBRICANT filed June 12, 2003

NHTSA complaint #412360 (ODI reference 10021479) concerns a 1995 FORD PROBE and was filed on June 12, 2003. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 20, 1995. The vehicle had 2,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission:lubricant, 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 PROBE cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission:lubricant 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 1995 FORD PROBE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
