#720484March 22, 2000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE WERE INFORMED BY RITAR FORD THAT THE REASON THE ENGINE" CHECK LIGHT CAME ON ,WAS CAUSED BY WATER DRIPPING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER LINE ONTO THE OXYGEN SENSOR. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT T.S.B.# 00-1-7 WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM BY RE-ROUTING THE LINE SO THE WATER WOULD NOT DRIP ON THE OXYGEN SENSOR . HOWEVER EVEN THOUGH WE PURCHASED E.S.P. (EXTENDED WARRANTY PROTECTION) THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE WE EXCEEDED 36,000 MILES. I FEEL AS WE WERE "RIPPED-OFF BEING ASKED TO PAY FOR A OBVIOUS ENGINEERING SHORTFALL BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY . ASIDE FROM THE ENGINEERING PROBLEM, A PONTENTAL ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEM IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE OXYGEN SENSOR. *AK
