AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE, FEELS LIKE IT COULD COME. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, CRUISE CONTROLNOT WORKING CORRECTLY. ALL THESE THINGS ARE SAFETY RELATED AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I THINK STEERING WHEEL SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE, SINCE IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM.

ENGINE
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, #2 CYLINDER BLEW THE SPARK PLUG OUT. THIS CYLINDER WAS REPAIRED USING A THREAD INSERT. THE CAR HAD APPROX 130,000 MILES ON IT. TODAY, NO WARNING, AGAIN, BLEW OUT ANOTHER SPARK PLUG, THIS TIME #3 CYLINDER. GOING TO ATTEMPT REPAIR USING SAME TYPE OF INSERT. PLUGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONE TIME, WERE PROPERLY TORQUED PER FORD SPECS, THE PROBLEM, IN MY OPINION IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF THE CYLINDER HEAD WHERE THERE ARE ONLY APPROXIMATELY 3 THREADS IN THE ALUMINUM HEAD THAT ACTUALLY GRIP THE PLUG OR ABOUT 1/16'TH OF AN INCH, WHERE THE PLUG HAS NEARLY 3/4 INCH OF THREAD. NATURALLY, FORD WON;T DO ANYTING TO HELP, BUT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF CASES LIKE THIS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN FIRES, AND EVEN THE AFTERMARKET HEADS BY TRICK FLOW ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BY FULLY THREADING THE SPARK PLUG HOLES IN THE HEADS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, WHEELS
I HAVE A 2003 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I ONLY HAVE 2 SPEEDS ON MY WIPERS. EITHER THE SECOND INTERMITTENT, OR FULL SPEED. WHILE ON FULL SPEED, IF I TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE WIPERS STOP. A WHILE BACK, MY HORN WOULD JUST HONK ON ITS OWN. THE WORST, WHICH MADE ME TAKE OUT THE FUSE, WAS AT 3:30AM ONE NIGHT THE HORN JUST WOULDN'T STOP. I WAS ASLEEP IN THE HOUSE. THE WINDOWS WORK, SOMETIMES. I CAN ROLL DOWN THE PASSENGER WINDOW WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE BUTTON, BUT HAVE TO REACH ACROSS THE CAR TO ROLL IT UP WITH THE OTHER DOOR SWITCH.MY LIGHTS, THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IT'S DARKER OUTSIDE, SEEM TO BE ON NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY IT IS. I KNOW IT IS AN OLD CAR, BUT FOR SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE WIRED THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IT MAKES ME THINK THAT PART OF THAT IS ONE OF YOUR RECALLS. I TRIED SEARCHING BY VIN, BUT IT KEPT TELLING ME TO ENTER A VALID VIN. I CHECKED IT AGAIN, WROTE IT DOWN TWICE, AND TRIED AGAIN. I ALSO NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE A RECALL ON THE WHEELS FOR THIS CAR AS WELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES 4 TIMES, AND THE VALVE STEMS TWICE. FOR THREE YEARS NOW, I HAVE DRIVEN ON BAD, OR NEW TIRES OFF AND ON. I THOUGHT THE RIM WAS BENT, BUT READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON STEEL RIMS THAT CRACK CAUSING AIR SEEPING OUT. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS EXAMINED. THAT, AND ALONG WITH THE ISSUES, IS WHY I AM INSTALLING A COMPLAINT TO YOU. DOWN BELOW, WHEN IT ASKS FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED, I AM NOT SURE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SO LONG, I'M NOT SURE WHEN I NOTICED IT EXACTLY. BUT THE HORN WAS CLOSE TO THE DATE BELOW. EVERYTHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND HOPE FOR A QUICK RESOLUTION TO THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
