ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I BOUGHT A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION ,THE CAR IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AND THE ENGINE "SEIZED". MY VEHICLE IS OVER 36000 MILES SO IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND THE ENGINE ALWAYS HAD OIL. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP. I AM STUCK WITH A $6000 BILL TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.*JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I HAVE A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. LAST JUNE, JUST AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED, I NOTICED MY GENERAL GRABBER TIRES DELAMINATING AND COMING APART. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE TIRES, BUT TO SAVE ANY RECEIPTS WHEN I PURCHASE NEW TIRES IN THE EVENT THERE IS A RECALL. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND SAVED THE RECEPT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD LATER IN THE YEAR. WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD REPLACED THE TIRES. I WAS TOLD MY CLAIM WAS WITH CONTINENTAL TIRE, NOT FORD, AND THAT CONTINENTAL WOULD BE CONTACTING ME. THEY NEVER DID CONTACT ME AND I FINALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CALL CONTINENTAL TIRE WITH A PHONE NO. GIVEN TO ME BY FORD. CONTINENTAL TIRE NOW SAYS THAT THE RECALL IS OVER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO RECOUP MY EXPENSES. I NEED YOUR HELP. IN MY CASE NO ONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE I MADE A VEHICLE INSPECTION AND HAD THE TIRES REPLACED (BEFORE THE RECALL WAS MADE). IF THERE HAD BEEN A DEATH, WE'D BE IN COURT RIGHT NOW, BUT BECAUSE THERE WASN'T I'M BEING PENALIZED FOR THE COST OF THE TIRES AND BEING VIGILANT. *JB
