UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A INDIVIDUAL. IT IS A USED CAR DEALER IN MAYFIELD KY. THE ABS BRAKE STAYS ON, NOW. I ONLY HAVE FRONT BRAKE'S. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WORK, I GUESS.THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH GOOD BRAKES.SOMETIMES WITH TOO GOOD OF BRAKE'S. AFTER I DRIVE IT AWHILE,THE BRAKES PEDAL WILL FELL LIKE IT HAS NO BRAKES. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE WAS THE PROBLEM.I CAN'T EVEN FIND IT! MY DASHLIGHTS WENT OUT.THEY ONLY WORK WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR.THEN WHEN I TURN THE KEY,THEY GO OUT. I HAVE TO TURN ON THE FLOOR/DEFROST TO KEEP THE WINDOWS FROM FOGGING UP. THE MESSAGE CENTER DOES NOT EVEN WORK.I HAD FORD HOOK IT UP TO A DIAGNOSIS TEST, THAT COSTE $65.00. THEY WANTED ME TO TEST IT FOR THE CIRCUIT THEY FOUND FUTHER. THEY WANTED $56.00 AN HOUR.THE BRAKES ARE THE MAIN CONCERN.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AND THERE IS NO BRAKES WHATSOVER , NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH DOWN. AFTER STOPPING WITH EMERGENCY BRAKES, THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED BY OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AS WELL AS OTHER REPAIR CENTERS AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS UNAFE TO DRIVE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT IS TOO VALUABLE TO JUNK BUT WE MAY HAVE TO.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNING BROWN WITH AGE. REPLACING BULBS DO NOT HELP. THERE IS NO AFTER-MARKET REPLACEMENT FOR THIS ITEM. MANY CARES FORM BOTH FORD AND LINCOLN ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM AND THE LIGHT PRODUCED BY THE BULB IS DIMMED BY THE PLASTIC COVERING. THERE ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD (BOTH FORD AND LINCOLNS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NO WORK AROUND FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DIFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD DURING RAIN AND FOG WITH THESE LIGHTS. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
DECORATIVE BLACK, PLASTIC COMPONENT'S GLUE ROTTED OFF OF INTAKE MANIFOLD. THEN DROPPED ONTO LEFT/BANK EXHAUST PIPES, CAUSING SMALL FIRE, SMOKE AND "SWEET" SMELLING FUMES. DRIVER WAS EXPOSED TO FUMES WHILE TRYING TO PULL VEHICLE OFF BUSY FREEWAY ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TRYING TO EXTINGUISH SMALL FLAMES. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED WHAT HAPPENED ( ALL THE PLASTIC DID NOT BURN AND YOU COULD TELL WHAT THE PLASTIC WAS FROM THE HALF THAT DID NOT BURN). FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD NOT -- EVEN WHEN DRIVER REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THEIR MSDS DEPARTMENT -- DISCLOSE THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE PLASTIC OR HARMFUL EFFECTS IT MAY CREATE. THE DRIVER OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAD TO PAY AN INDEPENDENT LAB TO ANALYZE THE COMPOSITION. THIS HAD TO BE DONE DUE TO THE SEVERE SWELLING (TO THE POINT THAT THEIR SKIN WAS SPLITTING); NAUSIUSNESS, LOSS OF APPETITE, AND DRY COUGH THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS AFTER EXPOSURE (ALSO HOSPITALIZED TWICE DUE TO THESE CONDITIONS WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS); KIDNEY BIOPSY WAS POSITIVE, HAVE BEEN UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S CARE AT SHAND'S TEACHING HOSPITAL, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, GAINESVILLE. IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I WAS EXPOSED TO THIS -- FOR NO REASON -- NO ONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THOUGH WHAT I HAD TO DO -- THANKS TO THE UNCOOPERATIVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEIR MSDS DEPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT IF I HAD ACCESS TO THE PLASTIC'S CHEMICAL COMPOSTION, MY RECOVERY TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH LESS (STILL SEEKING TREATMENT FOR OCCASIONAL SPONTANEOUS SWELLING). THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION. PAMELA OAKES 11625-5 CLEVELAND AVENUE AVENUE, FORT MYERS, FL 33907 (941)278-0086. *AK
