#767256September 16, 2002
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
SPARK PLUGS RUSTED/SEIZED INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSING IT TO HAVE TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER FOR THE (RUSTED/BROKEN) SPARK PLUG REMAINS TO BE REMOVED. POOR DESIGN ALLOWS STANDING WATER TO ACCUMULATE AROUND THE SPARK PLUGS CAUSING THE RUSTED CONDITION. WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND INCLUDED PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED AND BROKEN SPARK PLUGS, I WAS TOLD SIMPLY THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NO ADJUSTMENT, OR REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE MADE FOR THE REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, THE FACTORY INSTALLED SPARK PLUGS WERE NOT THE CORRECT ONES FOR THE ENGINE. THEY WERE EVEN TWO DIFFERENT PART NUMBERS. (I STILL HAVE THEM) FORD HAD NO COMMENT OR EXPLANATION FOR THIS AND HAS REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO TALK TO THEIR TECHNICAL EXPERTS/ENGINEERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 9/2/02. I WAS NORTH BOUND ON HWY 52, A CAR IN THE SOUTH BOUND LANE OF HWY 52 LOST CONTROL AND SLID AND SPUN ACROSS THE GRASS MEDIAN AND HIT MY TRUCK IN THE LEFT FRONT CORNER TO CENTER LINE OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THE POINT OF IMPACT ON HIS CAR WAS LEFT REAR TIRE/WHEEL AND QUARTER PANEL AREA TO REAR BUMPER OF CAR (CAR WAS LEFT BROADSIDE TO ME). I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH PRIOR TO THE CRASH, AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. I DID HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNED OFF, BUT DUE TO THE SEVERETY OF THE COLLISION, I FEEL THE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND WINDSHIELD, WITH NO AIRBAG TO PROTECT ME FROM INJURY.*AK

TIRES
FOUND TIRE SEPARATION ON 3 OF 4 ORIGINAL TIRES. SEPARATION WAS LOCATED APPROX 1/2 FROM RIM AND APPROX 1.5 INCHES LONG. ON TWO OF THE TIRES THE SEPARATION WAS LOCATED ON THE OUTSIDE AND ONE HAD THE SEPARATION LOCATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. THIS WAS THE ONE THAT CONCERNED ME MORE THAN THE OTHERS BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T LOOK ON THE INSIDE OF THIER TIRES. THESE SEPERATIONS WERE ALL NOTICED WHEN TIRES WHERE BEING ROTATED AND BALANCED. TIRES WERE SHOWN TO THE LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A TIRE SEPERATE AT THAT AREA OF THE TIRE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE AT A PRO-RATED PRICE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE ALL THREE TIRES AT NO COST. THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS OTHER THAN WET, THE ABS SENSOR'S INPROPERLY ENGAGE SENDING THE BRAKES INTO A FRENZY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL BRAKING ABILITY IS LOSSED UNLESS YOU SMASH DOWN ON THE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME ON DRY LAND GOING OVER A MAN HOLE COVER ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO STOP SHORT BUT COULDN'T. I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING FORD HAS NOT WANTED TO ADDRESS. I KNOW PROBABLY HUNDREDS MORE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESS BY FORD IMMEDIATLY. FIRST IT WAS THE TIRES GOING ON THE EXPLORERES, DON'T LET IT BE THE BRAKES FAILING ON SOME FAMILIES TRUCK CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES OR POSSIBLY DEATH!*AK
