#755523December 11, 2001
VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
THIS VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH OUTSIDE "SIGNAL" MIRRORS (RED LEDS BEHIND GLASS). THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR HAS SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF REFLECTANT MATERIAL FROM THE SURFACE, REDUCING VISIBILITY TO ABOUT 40% OF ORIGINAL (SATISFACTORY ONLY IN BRIGHT DAYLIGHT). THE LEFT SIDE MIRROR HAS BEGUN TO LOSE REFLECTANT (CURRENTLY ABOUT 10%). THIS WAS POINTED OUT TO THE SHOP FOREMAN AT THE DEALER, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, HE OFFFERED NO SOLUTION. REPLACEMENT WOULD COST SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF $ AT FORD PRICES, DIFFICULT TO FIND NON-OEM REPLACEMENTS. SHOP FOREMENA MENTIONED THAT HE HAD HEARD OF OR SEEN THIS S FEW TIOMES IN PAST. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES INCLUDING SEVERAL FORD AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A FREAK OCCURRENCE UNTIL THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR BEGAN TO FAIL. I BELIEVE THAT TIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY DEFECT AND THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. EXCEPT FOR MILEAGE, MY VEHICLE WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF 36 MONTHS. THANK YOU.*AK

STEERING:LINKAGES
I HAD NOTICED A SQUEAK FROM THE FRONT END WHEN MAKING TURNS. I FOUND NOTHING LOOSE SO I IGNORED IT FOR A WHILE. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATING FOUND THERE TO BE PROBLEMS WITH PITMAN ARMS ON THESE VEHICLES. I CHECKED MINE AND FOUND THAT TO BE THE NOISE AND REPLACED THE PART. I KEPT THE OLD PART. IT APPEARS DRY AND SOON TO WEAR OUT.
