ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER
LEAKING INTER COOLER FOR SUPERCHARGER. COOLANT LEAKS IN INTAKE AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO LOCKUP. IF ENGINE LOCKS UP FIRST THING I WILL LOOSE IS STEERING. THERE WAS A 'CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIX # 01BB1' , FOR A SHORT WHILE FORD WAS FIXING THIS AT NO COST TO CUSTOMER. THE PART NUMBER IS SPO XL3Z 9424 AB. THERE IS A NUMBER OF OTHER PROBLEMS THAT CAN HAPPEN IF THIS DOESN'T GET FIX TOO, ASIDE FROM SOMEONE CRASHING BECAUSE THEY CANT STEER ANYMORE THEN I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK A LOT MORE BOXES BELOW YOU CAN ALOS GET ALOT OF INFO ON THIS FROM SVT WEBPAGE FORUM AND HTTP://WWW.NLOC.NET/FORUM. *JB THANKS

THEN AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF LATER IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER TOWING TO SHOP FOR REPAIR IT STARTS OK BUT SPEEDOMETER SHOWS DASHES AFTER THE TURN ON LIGHT TEST. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I HAD PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC I WOULD BE DEAD. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH LEAKED BRAKE FLUID BACK UP THROUGH THE CONTROLS ON THE TOP OF THE STEERING COLUMN AT THE FLASHERS. AS A RESULT IT SHORTED THE CONTROLS OUT. THE CONSUMER HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE TAKEN OUT BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CONSUMER NOTICED OIL AT THE FLASHERS ABOUT 3 OR 4 WEEKS AGO, AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE CONSUMER HAD NO TURN SIGNALS OR BRAKE LIGHTS, AND THAT IS WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED FOR RECALL AND DID NOT FIND ANY RECALLS ON THE TRUCK. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE SAME SWITCH WAS IN HIS VEHICLE THAT WAS BEING RECALLED ON OTHER TRUCKS. THE CONSUMER HAS HAD SENSOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE VEHICLE IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONSUMER IS WRITING FORD AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL A LETTER INFORMING THEM FAULTY DEFECTS IN THESE VEHICLES. *AKTHE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING FOR A CHANGE FOR THE COMMON MAN. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC IF HE WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE, THE CONSUMERS TRUCK WOULD HAVE BURNT DOWN.*AK *JB

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING APROXIMATLY 30MPH WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND VEERED OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE ANY DAMAGE OCCURED. BEING MECHANICALY INCLINED I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD END HAD SEPERATED. THIS SURPRISED ME IN THAT THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 60K MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THAT THE TIE ROD END WAS EVEN BAD.
