ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT WAS PUT ON HIS VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL, WAS DEFECTIVE AND DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE SWITCH WILL NOT TURN TO ACCESSORY AND THE KEY IS HARD TO GO IN THE IGNITION, THEN WHEN IT DOES GO IN IT SPARKS. THE CONSUMER IS AFRAID THIS PROBLEM WILL SOME DAY CAUSE A FIRE. THE MANUFACTURE STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT AGAIN BECAUSE THEY REPLACED IT ONCE. SO, THIS TIME HE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. *NLM

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I PURCHASED A USED 1996 FORD CROWN VICTORIA FROM CAL WORTHINGTON FORD IN ALASKA A LITTLE LESS THAN THREE YEARS AGO. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I ALSO PURCHASED A PREMIUM WARRANTY POLICY AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS HEATED REAR-VIEW MIRRORS. A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO AFTER A SNOW STORM, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR-VIEW MIRROR CRACKED STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. SNOW HAD COVERED THE MIRROR AND I ASSUME WHEN THE MIRROR HEATED, IT CRACKED. FOUR MONTHS AGO AFTER ANOTHER SNOW STORM, THE DRIVER??S SIDE MIRROR CRACKED STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS COLD AND WHEN THE MIRROR STARTED HEATING UP IT CRACKED. PLEASE NOTE - I ALWAYS BRUSH THE SNOW OFF MY CAR BEFORE I WARM IT UP. REQUEST ?? FORD MOTOR CO. REPLACES THE MIRRORS AT NO COST TO ME I CONTACTED CAL WORTHINGTON FORD AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE MIRRORS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY REFUSED. I HAVE TWO REASONS FOR THIS REQUEST: 1) THE MIRRORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND POSE A SAFETY HAZARD. THE MIRRORS CRACKED BECAUSE OF A POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN. THE MIRRORS DIDN'T CRACK BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE CAUSED ON MY PART. 2) THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 4.6 V-8 CROWN VIC. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED RESULTING IN A LOSS OF COOLANT AND A 750.00 REPAIR BILL. THE MANIFOLD IS MADE OF A COMPOSITE NOT METAL.SO THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW. ALSO, WHY IS FORD REPLACING THE POLICE AND MUNICIPAL CARS MANIFOLDS AND NOT PRIVATE CITIZENS?? THIS INFORMATION CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP.
