ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER CTED LIKE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, EXCEPT THE RADIO WORKED AND SEAT BELT CHIME WOULD RUN. PLAYED WITH STEERING WHEEL AND IT STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 1 YEAR. IT IS AT THE DEALERS RIGHT NOW, THEY SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. LAST WEEK WHEN IT DID IT AND I WAS MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL , IT DIDN;T EVEN LOCK, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I ALWAYS PARK WHERE I CAN MAKE SURE A WRECKER CAN GET IN TO HAUL IT TO THE DEALERS.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ONLY TWO WEEKS AND 165 MILES. NOTICED STAINS ON MY DRIVEWAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL. FORD TOLD THE DEALER TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE (ON MY BRAND NEW CAR). THEY GAVE ME A CHEAP RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE WHILE MY NEW ONE IS BEING REPAIRED. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR. NOW I'M WITHOUT THE CAR AND WITHOUT THE MONEY. LEMON LAWS DON'T EVEN PROTECT ME AT THIS POINT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
F-150 BARELY STOPS FROM HITTING A CRV IN FRONT OF IT. AS SOON AS I SAW HIM APPLY HIS BRAKES I SLAMMED ON MINE. THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO HELP TO SLOW ESCAPE'S SPEED. WENT UNDER F150'S BUMPER AND WAS BOUNCED BACK AT LEAST A CAR LENGTH AND A HALF (HAVE PICTURES). THE FRONT WAS CRUPPLED AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH BREAKING SYSTEM BUT I KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE. MAYBE SYSTEMS WERE WORKING ACCORDING TO THEIR COMPUTER BUT I KNOW IF I HAD BEEN IN MY 1996 EXPLORER IT WOULD HAVE STOPPED.*AK
