SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6,000 MILES, MY BRAKES START VIBRATING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I BELIEVE THE DISC IS WARPING BUT TO DATE, NOTHING CONCRETE HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE AND THE DISK REPLACED TWICE. THE PROBLEM IS REOCCURING AND I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR IN AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR DOESN'T STOP PROPERLY AND THE VIBRATING STEERING WHEEL MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE AND MOST SEEM TO BE FROM ALASKA. IS THE COLD WEATHER SOMEHOW RESPONSIBLE? IT TAKES TIME, EFFORT, AND A LOT OF EMOTIONAL GRIEF TO ARGUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I TAKE THE CAR IN AND TELL THEM THAT THE BRAKES HAVEN'T BEEN RIGHT SINCE DRIVING THE CAR OF THE LOT. WHEN IS FORD GOING TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM? CHANGING THE DISK IS APPARENTLY NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM ITSELF. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET SATISFACTION, START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT? HAVE AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY FAULTY BREAKS WITH INJURY OR DEATH AND PUBLICISE A LARGE SETTLEMENT LAW SUIT? ALL I WANT IS BREAKS I CAN TRUST. AS IT IS, I GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR THE VIBRTATION TO START! *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
10 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK (10/22/01) THE TRANSMISSION CAME APART. APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION FEED BOLTS CAME LOOSE. I HAD THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION WAS BEING REPLACED. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. ON MARCH 10, 2004 THE TRUCK HAD TO TAKEN BACK IN BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING. IT NEEDED A NEW CONVERTER, PUMP AND ALL NEW SEALS, BRACKETS AND FLUID. ON MARCH 22 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK IN BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING INTERMITTANTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. IF THAT IS THE CASE WHY IS IT SLIPPING INTERMITTENTLY. THE SALES MANAGE AT THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP WAS VERY RUDE AND MADE MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF FEEL LIKE WE WERE IDIOTS. PLUS THEY NEVER FIXED THE ALARM LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. I WANT TO KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS A COMMON OCCURANCE OR WHAT. KH. *AK
