POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TRUCK HAD A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN JUNE OF 1997 ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASE IT. SMALL PROBLEMS STILL OCCURRED HERE AND THERE, BUT IN JUNE OF 1999 MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO ACT UP AGAIN NOT SHIIFTING RIGHT, WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR I DROVE IT IN, WHEN THEY WERE DONE WITH THE TRUCK I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED OUT OF THERE AND THEY STILL CHARGED ME 700 DOLLARS, I BROUGHT IT TO THE MAN WHO DID THE REBUILT ONE AND HE GOT IT RUNNING SAID IT WAS FIXED SO I PAID ANOTHER 640 DOLLARS THEN DROVE DOWN THE STREET AND IT STILL WAS NOT REPAIRED, IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SPENT 3400 DOLLARS ON REPAIRS FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK, WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE. I KNOW I OWN A LEMON. *AK

UNABLE TO USE VEHICLE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE OF PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER. DON'T FEEL SAFE PULLING A TRAILER WHEN WIDE ANGLE MIRRORS ARE "NON-ADJUSTABLE". IT'S RIDICULOUS TO HAVE NON-ADJUSTABLE MIRRORS ON A VEHICLE! DEALER INFORMS IT'S A DESIGN ITEM; NOT WARRANTY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
I HAVE HAD CONTINUAL SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT FAILURES SINCE PURCHASING IT NEW. FORD HAS MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPS TO CORRECT BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IN 92,000 MILES I HAVE HAD EIGHT BELT FAILURES. EACH TIME ALL POWER ASSIST ON BREAKS AND STEERING IS LOST AND BECOMES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR STOP. ON MY LAST VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY ESTIMATED $800.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD BE A PERMANENT FIX. IN 1995 OR 96 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ADVISING ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT PROBLEM. AT THE TIME MY COMPANY HAD ME WORKING ON THE EAST COAST, BY THE TIME I RETURNED HOME IT WAS ABOUT TEN DAYS PAST THE EXPERIATION DATE FOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN AS DID FORD MOTOR COMPANY. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN VERY LUCKY IN AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT TO DATE BECAUSE OF LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL EACH TIME THE DRIVE BELT BREAKS. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS FORD APPEARS TO BE UNINTERESTED IN CORRECTING THIS KNOWN SAFETY CONTITION. *AK

SEVERE VIBRATION AT ANY SPEED SEEMINGLY FROM FRONT DRIVE TRAIN (BEARINGS, AXELS, HUBS)?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ELECTRONIC ABS 2 WHEEL CONTROL IS TO SENSTIVE. IF A BUMP OR POTHOLE IS ENCOUNTERED WHEN STOPPING THE ABS WILL TRIGGER. THIS EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE BY 40%. ABS WILL NOT DISINGEAGE UNTILL FOOT IS RELEASED FROM BRAKE AND REAPPLIED WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL NOT STOP VEHICLE IN TIME. MY ABS HAS TRIGGERED 6 TIMES IN DRY WEATHER NORMAL DRIVING, DEALER'S RESPONSE IS THAT ABS IS SHOWING NO FAULT CODES AND IS WORKING AS "DESIGNED". THIS IS NOT SAFE AND COULD LEAD TO A LARGE TRUCK REAR ENDING A SMALLER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD!
