SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
REFERENCE VOQ #854737 WHERE MY SUPPLIED INFORMATION WAS INCORRECTLY RECORDED. WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN BRAKING, THE VEHICLE PULLS LEFT (INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC) THE SEVERITY OF THE PULL TO THE LEFT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE MEASURE OF THE BRAKING AND VEHICLE SPEED (E.G. LOW SPEED WITH LIGHT BRAKING = MODERATE PULL TO THE LEFT AND HIGHER SPEEDS WITH FIRM BRAKING = EXTREME PULL TO THE LEFT). THE FORD DEALER HAS TURNED ALL THE ROTORS, REPLACED A BRAKE LINE, REPLACED THE PADS, REALIGNED THE VEHICLE AT LEAST THREE TIMES, REPLACED THE CAMBER BUSHINGS TWICE, ONCE WITH FORD FACTORY PARTS AND THE LAST TIME WITH AFTER MARKET PARTS (NON-FORD ADJUSTABLE CAMBER BUSHINGS). REFERENCE ELECTRONIC DEALER SERVICE REPORT, EDSR#17584 GENERATED 05/11/99 BY THE MASTER TECHNICIAN AT JOE COOPER FORD. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE IS USING OIL, THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THIS ENGINE SHOULD USE 1 QUART OF OIL IN 900 MILES, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD BE USING THIS MUCH OIL. I THINK I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND , IT IS MY BELIEF THAT FORD IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THESE NEW ENGINES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH ONE OF THESE NEW FORD TRUCKS THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

#716420December 25, 1999
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK INTO GEAR AND INITIALLY START OUT THERE WAS KNOCKING AND CLUNKING COMING FROM UNDER THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) FLOOR BOARDS. CLUNKING SEEMED SIMILAR TO BAD U-JOINTS WHEN TORQUE IS PUT ON THEM. CLUNKING COULD BE FELT ON FLOOR. I HAD IN TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO FEEL AND HEAR CLUNKING. THE KNOCKING AND CLUNKING IS MORE PREVELANT IN WARM WEATHER. NOW I AM TOLD BY DEALER ( PLACE MOTOR, 19 THOMPSON ROAD-ROUTE 193,WEBSTER, MA,01570, PH.#5089438010) THAT THIS IS "UNDER INVESTIGATION" BY FORD MOTOR CO. I ASKED WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE DRIVING A NEW VEHICLE AROUND WITH THE CLUNKING AND NOTHING BEING DONE. AT THIS POINT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN AND IT TAKES TIME TO FIND THEM. I WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE WAIT UNTIL IT FALLS OFF ATTITUDE I GOT, NOT NECESSARILY FROM THE DEALER BUT FROM FORD. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW VEHICLE WE HAVE PURCHASED FROM FORD THAT HAS HAD THE "UNDER INVESTIGATION" LABEL PUT ON IT. I HAD A 1997 FORD EXPEDITION THAT, ON COLD START UPS, HAD A TWO TO THREE MINUTE ENGINE RAPPING NOISE THAT WAS ALSO "UNDER INVESTIGATION". IT SOUNDED AS IF NO OIL WAS GETTING IN THE ENGINE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. THIS PROBLEM TURNED US OFF FROM BUYING OUT OUR VEHICLE FROM ITS LEASE PROGRAM. 2 FOR 2 DOES NOT MAKE ME VERY KEEN ON FORD QUALITY OR ITS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, ESPECIALLY ON $30,000. TO $40,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MAJOR OIL LEAK COMING MOST LIKELY COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE LEFT HEAD WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE BLOCK OR IN THAT VICINITY. I NOTICED A LITTLE OIL THE WEEK PREVIOUS ON THE DRIVE WAY BUT WAS NOT TO CONCERNED AS I HAD JUST CHANGED OIL. YESTERDAY, BEFORE LEAVING TO CHRISTMAS SHOP I FUELED UP AND CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS ABOUT 2 QTS. LOW SO ADDED OIL. THIS MORNING 12/19/99 I NOTICED A LARGE QUAINTLY OF OIL UNDER THE TRUCK SO I AGAIN CHECKED THE OIL. WHILE DRIVING THE DAY BEFORE THE ENGINE HAD LOST ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF OIL IN APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES OF DRIVING. DURING THIS DRIVE I NOTICED NO CHANGE IN OIL PRESSURE OR ANY OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE HOPEFULLY THE GAUGES ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY. THERE WAS SO MUCH OIL UNDER THE TRUCK THAT IT HAD SATURATED THE LEFT REAR BREAK CALIPER AND THE ENTIRE UNDER BODY OF THE VEHICLE. I PLAN ON TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER MONDAY MORNING.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THE FAILURE IS THAT STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. THE HARDER THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED THE HARDER IT IS TO TURN THE WHEEL, UNTIL A POINT IS REACHED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED. *AK
