ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION PROBLEM, MOST NOTICABLE AT BETWEEN 58 AND 65 MPH. THE DEALER HAS MADE EIGHT ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 30 DAYS. I MET WITH A MANUFACTURE REP AT FLAGLER FORD WHO TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE ME BACK ALL OF THE MONEY PAID ON THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR $700.00 FOR MILAGE USED PROVIDING I BOUGHT ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE. DURING MY SEARCH I TEST DROVE THREE OTHER FORD VANS, ALL OF WHICH HAD SIMILAR VIBRATION PROBLEMS. I FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT I WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT, AND WHEN THE MANUFACTURERS REP WAS CONTACTED, SHE DID NOT LIVE UP TO HER COMMITTMENT. I AM NOW ASKING FOR ARBITRATION AND RELIEF UNDER THE LEMON LAW.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACTUAL FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SEAT, PER SE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT IS THAT IT IS SITTING TOO HIGH TO COMFORTABLY REACH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE. I'M FIVE FOOT NINE INCHES TALL AND THE HEAL OF MY FOOT DOES NOT REST ON THE FLOORBOARD WHILE I'M OPERATING THE GAS PEDAL OR BRAKE. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR VERY LONG WITHOUT MY FOOT FALLING ASLEEP DUE THO THE BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION FROM THE EDGE OF THE SEAT BEING FORCED INTO THE BACK OF MY LEG. I DO NOT THINK THE "H" POINTS FOR SEATS ARE BEING ADHERED TO FOR THE CONVERSION PACKAGE SEATS. THE CONVERSION COMPANY, BY THE WAY IS D'ELEGANT INC. 11847 SHAVER ROAD SCHOOLCRAFT, MI. 49087. ANOTHER CONCERN ABOUT THE SEATS (DRIVER AND FRONT PASS) IS THAT THE ARM REST BLOCKS THE SEAT BELT LATCH. THIS WILL MAKE IT VERY HARD TO ACCESS AND UNLATCH THE SEATBELT IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. BECAUSE OF THIS, I VERY SELDOME USE THE SEATBELT.

PROBLEM: ALL THREE (3) BOLTS (GRADE 8) HAD BROKEN THAT HAVE THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY ATTACHED TO VAN'S FRAME. HAD I BEEN MOVING AT ANY SPEED; THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS (I.E. MAJOR ACCIDENT (POSSIBLY WITH FATALITIES)INVOLVING ONE OR MORE VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. FORD REPAIR HOUSE COMMENTED THAT THEY NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A FAILURE. THEIR INVESTIGATION NOTED THAT TWO OF THE THREE BOLTS APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN LOOSE POSSIBLY FROM LACK OF SUFFICIENT LOCKING COMPOUND BEING USED AT TIME OF ASSEMBLY.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN HARD ON FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS FORM THE TIME WE BOUGHT IT. NOW THE ABS ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY IN MY OPINION. ON WET OR SNOW COVERED ROADS AT 15 MPH OR LESS THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT THE BRAKES ARE WORKING PROPERLY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN WET OR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT? THANKS
