FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
GAS GAUGE REGISTERED A HALF OF TANK GAS. SUDDENLY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HILL VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. *AK THE VEHICLE CONSUMED 1/4 TANK OF GAS TO TRAVEL 8 MILES. WHEN THE CONSUMER GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AGAIN, IT READ FULL. AFTER THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE GOING DOWN HILL, IT STARTED UP AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. CONSUMER CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SHE IS UNABLE TO DRIVE OR PARK ON A INCLINE (NOSE-DOWN) WITH LESS THAN A 1/2 TANK OF GAS. *PH *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
FORD 2002 EXPIDITION. 52,000 MILES SUN ROOF DRIP TRAY HAS FALLEN LOOSE. RAILINGS AND DRIP TRAYS NEED REPLACING. FORD HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE AND KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM, YET REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IF SAFETY IS A CONCERN, THEN RAIN INSIDE MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING SHOULD BE A GOOD ENOUGH TO SATISFY THAT CONCERN. *AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF CLOSING MY EYES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED BECAUSE YOUR DEPARTMENT NOW ALLOWS PASSENGER VEHICLES TO BLAST ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH 4 (FOUR) HEADLIGHTS. I CITE IN PARTICULAR THE FORD EXPEDITION WHERE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UPPER 2 HEADLIGHTS AND THE LOWER 2 SO-CALLED FOG LIGHTS. SOMETIMES, I WILL BLAST MY OWN BRIGHT LIGHTS AT THESE ONCOMING VEHICLES TO LET THEM SEE WHAT THEIR OWN LIGHTS LOOK LIKE. IN RESPONSE, THE ONCOMING CAR OR TRUCK (MERCIFULLY) WILL HIT THEIR OWN BRIGHT LIGHTS WHICH ARE LESS BRIGHT THAN THE COMBINATION OF THEIR LOW BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IDIOCY HAS CREPT INTO ALMOST EVERY DEPARTMENT IN FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT. HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY THINK THAT IT'S OK TO HAVE *****DOUBLE***** THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT COMING FROM A VEHICLE THAN IN THE PAST. TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT BUT THE HUMAN EYE HAS NOT CHANGED. YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE STUDIES FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE LAST CENTURY TO SEE HOW THEY CAME TO THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT ALLOWABLE UNDER LAW BACK THEN. I'LL BET THEY ACTUALLY USED LOGIC IN THEIR DECISION. WHEN, OH WHEN WILL YOU MORONS EVER MAKE A CORRECT DECISION? MAKE THE USE OF FOG LIGHTS ILLEGAL UNLESS THERE IS ACTUALLY FOG OR OTHER INCLEMENT WEATHER. OTHERWISE, YOU ARE JUST ENDANGERING THE DRIVERS OF VEHICLES WHO ARE FORCED BY YOU IDIOTS TO STARE AT THIS UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF LIGHT PROCEEDING FROM THESE NEWER VEHICLES. ALL YOU ARE DOING IS CAUSING AN INCREASE IN ROAD RAGE AND LOSS OF FAITH IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. *PH

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, EQUIPMENT
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING BLINDED BY BOTH SUV AND LUXURY VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS. LAST WEEK, I LITERALLY HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD TO WAIT FOR MY EYES TO CLEAR AFTER BEING BLINDED BY AN SUV THAT ALSO HAD HALOGEN LIGHTS. MY ONLY SOLUTION NOW IS TO DRIVE SLOWLY, HOPING THEY WILL PASS ME AS I KEEP MY EYES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD (NOT FEELING VERY SAFE IN THE PROCESS). I'VE ALREADY HAD ONE CAR TOTALED BY AN UNFAIR-HEIGHT COLLISION WITH AN SUV..I DON'T WANT TO LOSE NOT ONLY MY CAR BUT MY LIFE NEXT TIME ONE OF THOSE EGOISTS TAKES A JOYRIDE.*AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY WIFE HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT ON OUR 2002 FORD EXPEDITION . TIRES MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLE WERE THE GENERAL AW GRABBERS 17INCH. WE WERE INFORMED LAST YEAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THAT THESE TIRES HAD BEEN RECALLED. WE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND TOOK OUR VECHICLE IN TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID NO THEY HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED EVEN AFTER WE INSISTED THEY AT LEAST LOOK AT THE TIRES. MY WIFE AND INFANT CHILD WERE IN THE VECHICLE WHICH CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR BUT THANKFULLY ONLY MINOR BUMPS AND BRUISES TO MY FAMILY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING LEGAL ADVICE AND HAVE TAKEN NUMEROUS PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND HAD OUR OWN TECH EXAMINE THE TIRE.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON SEVERAL SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS REVVED UPON DEPRESSION OR RELEASE OF THE BRAKES. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THE RADIO ALSO BECOMES LOUDER AS IF THE SPEED SENSITIVE VOLUME IS AFFECTED AS WELL. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER BUT AS THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. PLEASE HELP AS I FEAR THAT THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
ON THE 2002 FORD EXPEDITION I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PICK UP IN THE GAS TANK IF THE VEHICLE IT IS MOUNTED IN THE CENTER OF THE TANK AND IF THE VEHICLE IS BELOW OR AT A 1/4 OF A TANK AND PARKED ON A GRADE AT ALL THE FUEL WILL NOT PICK UP AND RUN OUT OF FUEL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL THIS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU WORK DOWN TOWN AND PARK ON A GRADE THEN YOU HAVE 2 CHOICES COAST TO A LEVEL AREA WITH NO BRAKES OR CALL FOR HELP. LUCKILY MY WIFE'S EXPEDITION HAS ONLY DONE IT HERE AT THE HOUSE WHERE SHE PARKS ON A HILL BUT MOST OF THE TIME I TRY TO KEEP IT ABOVE A 1/2 OF A TANK TO COMBAT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. *NLM
