1996 Ford Taurus complaints

THE COOLING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE I WAS WAITING IN LINE AT THE BANK, AND THREW OUT THE FREEZE PLUGS, I SURFED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THE CAR HAD A RECALL AND FOUND OUT THAT IT DID AND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS DENIED. THEY DENY HAVING A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM , WHICH REQUIRED A BYPASS KIT TO STOP THE CAR FROM RUNNING HOT. I ACTUALLY GOT THIS INFORMATION ON YOUR WEB SITE, I SHOWED THE RECALL PAPER TO THE DEALER AND THEY STILL DENIED IT, I HAD TO PAY FOR EXPENSIES OUT OF MY POCKET AND FOR THE RENTAL CAR. THE RECALL WAS IN 1997, I WAS TOLD THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECALL PAPER THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND DENIED ME THE CLAIM. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT STILL WAS NOT HEATING AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $600.00 TO HAVE A HEATER COIL PUT IN, IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH HEATING OR COOLING BEFORE. THEY FLUSHED THE SYSTEM AGAIN AND I AM STILL HAVING HEATING PROBLEMS AND THE CAR STILL RUNS HOT, AND STILL NOT HEATING PROBERLY, EVEN THOUGH THEY PUT THE BYPASS KIT ON FROM THE RECALL THAT NEVER EXISTED AND CHARGED ME FOR IT. THEY LEFT PARTS ALOOSE AND YOU CAN HEAR IT RATTLING. I DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAS 7 PRIOR HISTORYS BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. NO ONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE ANY OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND, I HAVE SEVERAL DOCUMENTATION VERIFYING ALL THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU, ALL I WANT IS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR AND THE CAR RENTAL THAT COST ME $591.12 AND MY CAR FIXED THE

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHEN I NOTICED ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. DUE TO COMPLETE CORROSION OF COOLANT SYSTEM, THIS RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF FREEZE PLUGS, WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, HEAD GASKETS, THERMOSTAT AND HEATER CORE. I WILL HAVE TO BRING IT BACK IN APRIL FOR ANOTHER RADIATOR FLUSHING. I LATER LEARNED FROM A RADIO TALK SHOW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE COOLANT SYSTEM FOR THIS AUTO. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SENT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED IT AND IT EXPIRED AUGUST 1999. FORD OR THE DEALER REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED BY MY REPAIRS OR NOT AND WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD HAS ALSO REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ANY OF THE COSTS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE

I WAS DENIED THE CLAIM BY CHRYSLER FINACIAL. BECAUSE THE RUST COLORED COOLANT THAT THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN CAME OUT WHEN THE FREEZE PLUGS CAME OUT AND THEY DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THEY SAID I DID NOT KEEP RECIEPTS FOR THE ANITFREEZE IN WHICH I PURCHASED FOR THE MAINTENANCE., NO ONE KEEPS THOSE RECIEPTS, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE CAR REPAIR AND THE RENTAL CAR BILL WHICH WAS $668.73 AND $591.12 I FEEL THAT I WAS DENIED WRONGFULLY WHEN I HAVE PAID ON THIS WARRANTY FOR 4YRS NEVER USED IT AND WHEN I NEED IT I GOT DENIED BY BOTH CHRYLSER FINACIAL AND BOB DUNN AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY.*AK

I REFUSED BECAUSE THE COST SEEMED TO HIGH AND I WASN'T COMPLETELY SURE IF THIS WAS REALLY THE PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC DEALING WITH TRANSMISSIONS ONLY. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHT TROUBLE. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM NOT EVEN BY USING THE COMPUTER. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER AGENCY (FRIEND OF MINE) WHO KNOWS ABOUT TRANSMISSIONS. HE SAID THAT HE HAD FIXED MANY TAURUSES BEFORE, BUT HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A PROBLEM. FINALLY, I DECIDED CALL FORD TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, WHICH I HAD ALREADY AT FIRST. I TOOK IT BACK TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER LOCATED AT THE OPPOSITE END OF NORTHERN BLVD. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING AS THE LAST FORD DEALER. AFTER ALL THIS CONFUSION, I DECIDED TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS (70 PLUS MPH) IN CROSSWIND CONDITIONS THERE IS A LOUD "MOANING" AND/OR "WHISTLING" SOUND THAT IS PRESENT IN THE AREA OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHERE THE DOOR ASSEMBLY MEETS THE FRAME AND WINDOW ASSEMBLY. THE SOUND IS SO LOUD THAT I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE RADIO BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH NOISE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR TO TALK OR HEAR NORMALLY. I HAVE INFORMED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS PERSONAL FORD VEHICLE. FORD CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOR DO THEY SEEM TOO CONCERNED ABOUT IT. THEY (FORD)JUST SORT OF PUT ME OFF AND MORE OR LESS INDICATE THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO CORRECT THE PRONLEM THAT I"LL JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND OCCURS FREQUENTLY WHEN I TAKE TRIPS WHERE I AM DOING HIGH SPEED DRIVING IN CROSSWIND CONDITIONS.
