TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
THE SPARE TIRE WHICH IS MOUNTED UNDER THE BODY OF MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION FELL OFF WHILE I WAS ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP OF AN EXPRESSWAY. FORTUNATELY, THE ERRANT SPARE TIRE DID NOT HIT THE CARS BEHIND ME. THE TIRE WAS HELD BY A STEEL CABLE THAT BROKE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND NOT SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX IT WITHOUT PAYMENT. I NOTIFIED THE CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR FORD. GOT THE RUNAROUND, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD FORWARD TO THE ENGINEERING DEPT. I KNOW THAT THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO A FRIEND OF MINE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *LA

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER TAKING MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION FOR A ROUTINE TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND BRAKE JOB AT AL PACKER WEST IN ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT APPROXIMATELY FIVE TO SEVEN MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS SERVICED. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REPAIR IT, I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $529 AFTER I HAD JUST PAID THEM #300 FOR THE ROUTINE SERVICE AND BRAKE JOB. I LIVE 35 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND DROVE HAVING NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I PICKED IT UP; HOWEVER, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. AFTER RESEARCHING WITH OTHER MECHANICS, I FEEL THAT IT WAS THEIR ERROR AND THEIR PRODUCTS LIABILITY INSURANCE SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE EXPENSES. *LA
