SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:TORSION BAR
THE DEALERSHIP IS CALLING THE TORSION BAR A "WEAR AND TEAR ITEM" THEREFORE IT IS CONSIDERED A WARRANTY ITEM AND NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR MY TRUCK, WHICH IS USED AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE, HAS THE "OFF-ROAD PACKAGE" AND HAS SEEN A NON-PAVED ROAD ALL OF 5 TIMES, I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER SOME SORT OF WARRANTY OR RECALL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE NHTSA DATABASE AND SEEN NUMEROUS (36) CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE. I COULD UNDERSTAND THE TORSION BAR FAILURE (MAYBE) IF THE TRUCK WERE USED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSES OR IF I EXCEEDED THE RECOMMENDED USES OF THE VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE NOT. THE TRUCK IS AT LESS THAN HALF ITS EXPECTED LIFE AND YET ONE OF THE MAIN SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAD FAILED. THIS BAR REPLACED THE COIL SPRINGS ON THE PAST GENERATION OF TRUCKS. HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF COIL SPRINGS SNAPPING? I ALSO FIND IT RATHER TROUBLESOME THAT FORD HAS RECENTLY BEEN ACCUSED OF TURNING THE OTHER WAY WHEN PROBLEMS ARISE WITH ITS VEHICLES. IS THIS GOING TO BECOME ANOTHER FIRESTONE RECALL SCENARIO OR WILL FORD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING MISTAKES? IM STARTING TO WONDER WHAT BUILT FORD TOUGH ACTUALLY MEANS.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AND HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT DUE TO LOW COMPRESSION, OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOW FUEL MILEAGE. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE, BUT WHEN IT GETS HOT IT HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL AND WILL NOT RESTART FOR QUITE A WHILE. I WAS IN OMAHA AND STOPPED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART, OVER THE RADIO CAME A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING, WITH MY FAMILY WITH ME THERE WAS NO PLACE I COULD TAKE THEM. THERE WAS HAIL BUT AND LUCKILY NO HAIL.. I LEFT MY FAMILY AND WENT TO GET OUR OTHER VEHICLE AND LEFT THE TRUCK. . I AM CURRENTLY OVERSEAS IN KOSOVO, SO I CAN NOT IMMEDIATELY RETURN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AT THIS TIME. IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON THIS RECALL?*AK

TIRE STARTED TO SEPERATE ON INTERSTATE DRIVING. ROARING, VIBRATION. WE STOPPED AND REPLACE TIRE WITH SPARE IMMEDIATELY. TIRE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO FOUR GOODRICH DEALERS IN ATHENS AREA, AND WE WERE INFORMED EACH TIME BY ALL THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR ANY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AT TIME OF INCIDIENT. THEY ALL SAID IT WAS A FORD PROBLEM. FORD ROAD HAZZARD SERVICE CONTACTED 8/15/00 WITH REPORT, AND THEY PROMISED IN AUGUST TO HAVE PURCHASING DEALER CALL US TO REPLACE THE TIRE. FOLLOWING UP WITH ORIGINAL PURCHASE DEALER SERVICE CENTER IN COMMERCE, WAS INFORMED BY SHOP MANAGER THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT A CLAIM, THEY WOULD NOT RESOLVE OR REPLACE TIRE , IT WAS A GOODRICH TIRE ISSUE TO REPLACE IT. CALLED FORD CONSUMER LINE AGAIN, GIVEN PROMISE THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL US BACK, STILL WAITING ON THAT CALL. CALLED GOODRICH, CORPORATE CONSUMER LINE, AND WAS TOLD A GOODRICH DEALER, ANY THAT WE COULD DRIVE TO, WOULD REPLACE THE TIRE. UPON DRIVING AROUND ATHENS, GA. WITH TIRE AND VEHICLE LAST WEEK, NO GOODRICH DEALER WAS WILLING TO CALL GOODRICH CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY COULD GET A REPLACEMENT AND AUTHORIZATION FOR SAME. ALL GOODRICH DEALERS HAVE TOLD US TO CALL FORD TO REPLACE A NEW TIRE UNDER WARRANTY IF VEHICLE IS STILLUNDER WARRANTY. WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A TIRE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FORD CONSUMER LINE, BY ROAD HAZARD HOTLINE, NOW THAT GOODRICH TIRES ARE NOT PART OF ANY RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANY TIRE FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH THE FORD WARRANTY, AND ORIG EQUIPMENT BOOKLET IN NEW VEHICHLE GLOVEBOX STATES THEY ARE LIABLE FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT ON A NEW VEHICLE WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. FORD NOW STATES THAT IT IS A GOODRICH ISSUE. (TIRESIZE: 23570R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 23570R16 )

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ENGINE HAS KNOCK AT COLD START UP AND GOES AWAY AFTER ENGINE WARMS UP. I HAD CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL DEALER IN CA. WHENTHIS STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE CONTACTED A FORD DEALER HEAR IN ATLANTA AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO BULLETINS OFFER ANY REASON OR ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. I HAVE TALK WITH A FEW OF THE WORKERS AT THE ATLANTA FORD PLANT AND ONE OF THEM HAVE THE SAME MAKE, YEAR, MODEL AND ENGINE AS I DO. HE STATED THAT THE PLANT IN KANSAS AND WINDSOR IN CANADA HAVE SAID THAT THIER WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADS ON THIS ENGINE. WHY IS IT THAT I CAN FIND OUT THIS INFORMATION AND THE DEALERS DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON THIS. I LIKE MY TRUCK AND WISH TO FIX THE PROBLEM , BUT CAN'T GET AN ANSWER FROM FORD. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ANY HELP I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
