TIRES:SIDEWALL
I WENT TO DEALER/SELLER TO REPORT CRACKS AROUND SIDEWALL THAT APPEAR TO BE DEFECTS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I FEAR THAT THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND THAT I MIGHT BE HARMED. THEY SAID IT IS "WEATHER DAMAGE" I KNOW WHAT WEATHER DAMAGE IS ON TIRES, AND THIS AIN'T IT. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS A FORD PRODUCT, AND THEY ARE RUNNING SCARED. NORMALLY, THEY ARE COOPERATIVE ABOUT REPAIRS. THEY SHOT ME DOWN, FAST...TRYING TO COVER THEIR ASSES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FALTY CONTINENTAL TIRES ON FORD/MERCURY TAURUS/SABLE FOR YEAR 2000. THANK YOU. *AK

INTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
DOME LIGHT ALWAYS ON DUE TO DOOR SWITCH STUCK. VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. DEALER SAID REOCCURING PROBLEM IN MODEL AND SAID I CAN FIX IT MYSELF BY REMOVING DOOR PANEL. ASKED IF I HAD OTHER "ELECTRICAL" PROBLEMS. I SAID EMERGENCY (HAZARD) LIGHTS DON'T WORK. HE SAID MODEL HAS AWFUL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I USE THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS EQUIPPED ON THE CAR. SAID I TRIED BUT IT WAS FAULTY. NEVER BOTHERED USING IT SINCE. HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATION ON REPAIRS STATING IT IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
TRANSMISSION HESITATES FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL SLAM INTO GEAR. NOW I HEAR THE TRANSMISSION WHINING IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. IT STARTED DOING IT ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAVE NOTICED ALOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND THE ONES IN THE FORD TAURUS. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A TRANSMISSION GOING BAD AT ONLY 74,000 MILES, WHEN IT IS DRIVIN SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY. I HAVE MADE SURE THE OIL WAS ALWAYS FULL, AND I EVEN CHANGED THE OIL AND THE FILTER IN THE TRANSMISSION. IT DID NOT HELP!
