STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING HEAVY RAINS THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. SINCE THEN, THE POWER STEERING FLUID STARTED LEAKING AND CAPITAL MOTORS IN TALL. FL. DISCOVERED THAT THE FLUID LINE WAS FRAYED. IT TOOK A WEEK FOR THEM TO REPAIR THIS, AND THEY HINTED THAT I MIGHT NEED A NEW STEERING RACK. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE THEN WITH LOSING CONTROL OF MY STEERING. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF YOU WERE TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN. *AK

#704755March 22, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION JUST STARTED SLIPPING UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FLIPPED OVER TO ZERO AND STUCK. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT USED (WELIEVER) WHO TOOK IT TO WILCHER FORD AS AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER. THEY INITIALLY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION/VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR AND REPLACED THAT. THAT DID NOT CURE THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM. SO THEY ARE ORDERING A NEW SPEEDOMETER CABLE. I WILL NOT KNOW IF THIS CURES THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM UNTIL VEHICLE IS RETURNED. BUT THIS FAILURE SEEMS SIMILAR TO ODI ID 513344 IN YOUR RECALL LIST. COULD YOU FURNISH MORE INFORMATION TO ME ABOUT THIS CASE AND/OR CHECK TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE IS LISTED AS STILL OUTSTANDING ON ANY RECALLS? *AK
