ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION PROBLEM, MOST NOTICABLE AT BETWEEN 58 AND 65 MPH. THE DEALER HAS MADE EIGHT ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 30 DAYS. I MET WITH A MANUFACTURE REP AT FLAGLER FORD WHO TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE ME BACK ALL OF THE MONEY PAID ON THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR $700.00 FOR MILAGE USED PROVIDING I BOUGHT ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE. DURING MY SEARCH I TEST DROVE THREE OTHER FORD VANS, ALL OF WHICH HAD SIMILAR VIBRATION PROBLEMS. I FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT I WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT, AND WHEN THE MANUFACTURERS REP WAS CONTACTED, SHE DID NOT LIVE UP TO HER COMMITTMENT. I AM NOW ASKING FOR ARBITRATION AND RELIEF UNDER THE LEMON LAW.

#709180July 26, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN HARD ON FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS FORM THE TIME WE BOUGHT IT. NOW THE ABS ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY IN MY OPINION. ON WET OR SNOW COVERED ROADS AT 15 MPH OR LESS THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT THE BRAKES ARE WORKING PROPERLY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN WET OR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT? THANKS
