#708751July 17, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
I HAVE HAD CONTINUAL SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT FAILURES SINCE PURCHASING IT NEW. FORD HAS MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPS TO CORRECT BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IN 92,000 MILES I HAVE HAD EIGHT BELT FAILURES. EACH TIME ALL POWER ASSIST ON BREAKS AND STEERING IS LOST AND BECOMES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR STOP. ON MY LAST VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY ESTIMATED $800.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD BE A PERMANENT FIX. IN 1995 OR 96 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ADVISING ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT PROBLEM. AT THE TIME MY COMPANY HAD ME WORKING ON THE EAST COAST, BY THE TIME I RETURNED HOME IT WAS ABOUT TEN DAYS PAST THE EXPERIATION DATE FOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN AS DID FORD MOTOR COMPANY. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN VERY LUCKY IN AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT TO DATE BECAUSE OF LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL EACH TIME THE DRIVE BELT BREAKS. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS FORD APPEARS TO BE UNINTERESTED IN CORRECTING THIS KNOWN SAFETY CONTITION. *AK
