THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE LITERALLY FELL APART, WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING OPERATED. LUCKILY MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED! AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND FIXED, WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANICS THAT A GEAR BROKE, AS A RESULT OF POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. AS A RESULT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. FORD HAS A LONG HISTORY WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN THE FORD TAURUS. FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A TRANSMISSION WITH 42,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT JUST FALL APART!*AK

WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH AND HITTING THE BRAKES, THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE VERY BADLY. BRAKING IS VERY DANGEROUS. RESURFACING DISCS IS NOT THE ANSWER. THE ROTORS MUST BE REPLACED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, NOT THE CONSUMER, SHOULD PAY FOR THIS AS THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.*AK

DURING A HEAD ON COLLISION, DRIVER AND PASSENAGER DOOR SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT FRONT AIR BAG THERE WERE MANY INJURIES, CONCUSION, HEAD, NECK, BACK SPRAINS AND STRAINS.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND FLASHES ON AND OFF, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SYSTEM, CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT.*AK *JB

THE FRONT AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON 5 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE JAN 19,2001. THE FIRST 3 TIMES THE LIGHT WAS OUT BY THE TIME I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM HAD NO MEMORY AND NO INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE IF THE LIGHT WAS OUT. THE FOURTH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON BY LEAVING THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE RUNNING I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALER WITH THE LIGHT STILL ON. THEY STOPPED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE STORY THAT DAY WAS THAT THE SYSTEM DID HAVE A MEMORY AND I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 8 JAN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND FIXED. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON 08JAN02 THE LIGHT WAS OUT BUT I TOLD THEM I COULD STILL HEAR A SLIGHT ALTERNATOR ?? WHINE BUT THEY ASSURED THAT COULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.*AK

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. ON THE FIRST RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEALER STATED NOTHING SHOWED UP ON DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. AFTERWARDS WE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION SWITCH. ON THE 2ND RETURN TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND WE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT BECAME MORE REGULAR. ON THE 3RD RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE STARTER. CAR IS NOW AT DEALER, HAS BEEN THERE FOR 6 DAYS WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION ON STATUS BEING PROVIDED BY DEALER. WE FEEL CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHAT HELP CAN WE GET?*AK

AFTER ABOUT 3.5 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM DENVER TO LAS VEGAS, THE TIRE BLEW OUT OUTSIDE OF GRAND JUNCTION, CO. IN 60+F TEMPS. THE TIRE STARTED TO CHUNCK OUT BEFORE IT BLEW-OUT. I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS HITTING DEBRIS IN THE ROAD BEFORE THE TIRE BLEW-OUT. THE TIRE BLEW-OUT AT THE SIDEWALL WHERE THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD COME TOGETHER. I HAVE THE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO SEND IT TO YOU. THE DEALER, WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, DID REPAY ME FOR THE FULL SET OF NEW TIRES THAT WERE PURCHASED IN LAS VEGAS,NV. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 8XX8 TIRESIZE: P215-60R16)

AT STARTUP THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EXPOLDED RESULTING IN TOTAL DISTRUCTION. SHRAPNEL WAS IMBEDED IN INSULATION COVER ON THE HOOD AND FOUND THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THE WINDSHIELD WASHER MODULE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WAS BLOWN OFF AND FOUND APROX 5' FROM THE CAR. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR HARD STARTING AND FUEL SYSTEM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE PAST YEAR. HAD THE HOOD BEEN OPEN THE BLAST WOULD HAVE SENT SHRAPNEL OUT OF THE AREA AND INTO WHOEVER WAS STANDING NEARBY.*AK

ON JANUARY 31, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FRIGHTENING ME SERIOUSLY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FROM MY CELLULAR TELEPHONE. I WAS ADVISED TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, THAT BEING BURGE FORD OF SANTA MONICA. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE OFFERED TO SEND A TOW TRUCK BUT SAID I SHOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE THE SHORT DISTANCE MYSELF. AS THIS OCCURRED AT THE END OF MY LUNCH BREAK, THIS CAUSED ME TO RETURN TO WORK VERY LATE THAT AFTERNOON. AFTER TWO DAYS ON 2/2/01, BURGE FORD ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM THE SERVICE CENTER. AGAIN, THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE BACK TO BURGE FORD. BURGE FORD ENCOURAGED ME TO STAY A FEW MINUTES,  THEN 30 MINUTES ETC. TO SEE IF THE MECHANIC COULD FIX THE PROBLEM WHILE I WAITED. EVENTUALLY, THEY OFFERED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A FREE RENTAL CAR AS IT WAS NOW LATE AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY AND MY CAR WOULD HAVE TO STAY OVER THE WEEKEND. AGAIN, I HAD TO MISS A WORK. AGAINST MY WISHES, THEY DID NOT WRITE A NEW REPAIR ORDER FOR 2/2/01 BUT RE-OPENED THE PRIOR ORDER. IN ADDITION, HAVING EARLIER ASKED FOR MY COPY OF MY CLOSING SERVICE INVOICE FOR THE 1/31/01 SERVICE, THEY REFUSED TO RETURN THE COPY TO ME SO THAT I HAD NO PROOF THAT THEY HAD CLOSED OUT THE ORIGINAL SERVICE ORDER. UPON THE NEXT OCCURRENCE, I SWITCHED TO GALPIN FORDS SERVICE WHOM I FOUND TO BE MORE

MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE REAR SUSPENSION OF MY VEHICLE IS THAT THE BODY FRAME SUSPENDS DOWN OVER THE REAR TIRES CAUSING RUBBING WITH FRAME AND REAR TIRES. ALSO CAUSES EXHAUST SYSTEM TO VIBRATE AGAINST FLOORING OF VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS BECAME EXTREMELY DIM. DEALER IS UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

SPARK KNOCK ON ACCELERATION; MORE NOTICEABLE DURING WARMER WEATHER. *AK

THERE WERE TWO INCIDENTS WHERE WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (10MPH) ABS LIGHT TURNED ON AND ENGINE MADE VERY STRONG NOISE. AFTER STOPPING AND MOVING TO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE MADE EVEN A LOUDER SQUEAKING NOISE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE CAR ALL WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER THE LAST MONTH AND CONCERNS ME ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE DRIVING IN ON HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE DEALER TRIED TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT IDENTIFY IT AND DOES NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK

I BELIEVE THAT THIS TIRE FAILURE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE TIRE THAT CLEARLY SHOWS "TIRE SEPARATION." WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH FORD, THEY TOLD ME THAT FIRESTONE WAS RESPONSIBLE. WHEN I CONTACTED FIRESTONE, THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT A CLAIM BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO FACTORY RECALL. FIRESTONE THEN TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE TIRE TO A FIRESTONE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS ON VACATION AND HAD TO HAVE EMERGENCY REPAIRS, THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE "SAVED THE TIRE" FOR INSPECTION. I TOLD FIRESTONE THAT IS WAS NOT REASONABLE OR POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS FILLED WITH LUGGAGE AND I WAS NOT GOING TO DRIVE AROUND FOR 5 DAYS WITH A DIRTY TIRE ON MY PASSENGERS LAP. FIRESTONE REFUSED TO OFFER ME ANY ALTERNATIVES AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT A CLAIM NOTHWITHSTANDING THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVED. THE FACT THAT THESE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FURTHERMORE, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT THIS TIRE MAY BE SUBJECT OF RECALL IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS SENT TO NTSB.*AK (TIRESIZE: P215/60R16)

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SURGED OUT INTO INTERSECTION LIKE SOMEONE PUT FOOT ON ACCELERATER.

#1 WIRE TO THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BRAKE PREDAL BROKE AT THE WIRE TO SWITCH CONNECTOR. THE WIRE LOOM WAS MOUNTED TO0 SHORT AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. THE INITIAL PROBLEM WAS FOR INTERMITTEN BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AT WHICH TIME I TROUBLE SHOOTED THE PROBLEM MY SELF. WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN STOPPING CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. ADDITIONAL WIRE WAS ADDED TO THE FACTORY WIRING AT THE SWITCH CONNECTOR TO ALLOW FOR BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. THIS COULD CAUES POTENTIAL WIREING PROBLEMS AT A LWTER DATE. ALL REPAIRS WERE MADE BY SELF. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. *AK

THE DAY I PICKED UP THE CAR THE HOOD WAS UP AND SALESMAN SAID THEY CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND EVERYTHING WAS OK AND SHUT IT. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO MY INSURANCE ADGENT TO UPDATE MY POLICY AND IT WAS UP AGAIN. I CALLED DEALER AND HE SAID TO BRING CAR IN. HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN OTHER CARS WAVED ME OVER AS THE HOOD WAS UP AND I HAD TO PULL INTO REST AREAS TO PUT IT DOWN. I HAVE COMPLAINED EACH TIME I HAD SERVICE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE LATCH BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. I AM AFRAID IF THAT LITTLE PLASTIC CATCH GIVES WAY THE HOOD WILL FLY ALL THE WAY UP AND I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM UPSET AS I FEEL THIS IS NOT A SMALL MATTER BUT A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK
