#709355July 29, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE DOOR AJAR CHIME CONTINUOUSLY CHIMES. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, DON DAVIS FORD 1901 N. COLLINS ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76101 NUMBER 817-461-1000. WE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE TRUCKS PROBLEMS AND THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED TO TELL US THAT THE DOOR CHIME HAD BEEN FIXED BUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURERS SUGGESTION. WE STATED THAT IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM TO GO AHEAD AND PROCEED. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER BILLY WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TOWARDS HOME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IN THE TRUCK FAILED HE HAD TO PUSH THE TRUCK OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WALK TO GET HELP. WE TOOK THE TRUCK THIS TIME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER, WESTWAY FORD 801 W AIRPORT FREEWAY IRVING, TEXAS 972-256-5551, THIS DEALERSHIP FOUND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BE BURNT. THE FLUID SMELLED BURNT BUT WAS STILL RED IN COLOR ALSO THEY FOUND METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION FILTER WAS NOT CHANGED OUT AT THE TIME THE "DELUX FLUSH" WAS PERFORMED BY THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP. HENCE: IF THE FLUSH WAS NECESSARY THEN WHY WOULD`NT THE FILTER CHANGE OUT BE? ACCORDING TO DON DAVIS FORD, FORD RECOMMENDS THE FLUSH BUT NOT THE FILTER TO BE CHANGED AND THEY WERE GOING BY THE MANUFACTURERS SUGGESTIONS. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD BUT THEIR ONLY RESPONSE IS "IF YOU HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW THEN WE WOULD HAVE COVERED THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED" . GREAT HUH? AS FAR AS THE DOOR AJAR CHIME WE STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM AND IT HAS BECOME A NUSANCE DUE TO THE FACT THAT NO FORD DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIR OR ADVISED US ON HOW TO DISCONNECT THE SILLY CHIME BUZZER. YOUR RESPONSE AND OR COMMENTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, DEBBIE HOLSOMBACK

#709253July 27, 1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, STEERING:LINKAGES, SUSPENSION:FRONT, SUSPENSION:REAR
MAJORITY OF PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WITH FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION IN ADDITION TO THE FOLLOWING: CAMBERS, SLUGS, TOES, ROTORS, GEAR BOX, SPRINGS, DRAG LINKS, TIE RODS, BUSHINGS, TRANS CROSS MEMBERS, STABILIZER BARRS, BUSHINGS, ELECTRICAL, COMPUTER, TRANSMISSION, OIL LEAKS, IGNITION CYLINDER, AND REPLACEMENT OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVE COMPONENTS. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ONLY "DOCUMENTS" DIFFICULTIES AND I CAN'T GET PAST A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO CAN DO NOTHING BUT PUT MY COMPLAINTS INTO A DATABASE. REPEATED LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS HAVE GONE UNRESOLVED AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT AT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT NOTICE WOULD BE SENT TO THE LOCAL FIELD OFFICE WHERE THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND MOST LIKELY NOT ME DIRECTLY ALTHOUGH I ASKED THAT THEY DO SO. THERE HAVE BEEN TEN SERVICE APPOINTMENTS FOR THESE PARTS TO BE REPLACED. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR AUG. 9TH - WE STILL HAVE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. TO DATE, OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE FOR REPAIRS FOR A TOTAL OF 22 DAYS.

#709083July 23, 1999
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE PROBLEM JUST CROPPED UP WITHOUT ANY UNUSAL TRAFFIC OR ROAD CONDITIONS. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY FRONT SUSPENSION AREA. MY MECHANIC LOOKED FOR A DAMAGED SUSPENSION COMPONENT, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY DAMAGE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE IDENTIDIED THAT THE RIVETS ATTACHING THE CROSS MEMBER TO THE FRAME WERE NOT HOLDING FAST. THE FRAME IS MOVING WHEN THE TRUCK TURNS AND STOPS OR STARTS MOTION. HE CONTACTED FORD WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. THIS WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $500 TO REPAIR BY DRILLING OUT THE RIVETS AND REPLACING WITH BOLTS. IF YOU CONTACT ME I CAN GIVE MY MECHANICS NAME AND NUMBER HE IS AWARE OF OTHER FORD FRAME FAILURES THAT HE HAS REPAIRED.
