SUSPENSION:REAR, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AXLE. THE NOISE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND INCREASES WHEN DRIVING ON INCLINES. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AT LEAST THREE TIMES, BUT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. ON THE THIRD VISIT, THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE SHAFT AND REAR AXLE FAILED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR FOUR DAYS IN ORDER TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY FOR TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS, BUT CURRENTLY THE FAILURE HAS RETURNED. THE CONTACT IS TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON MAY 16, 2008 FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,527. UPDATED 06/02/08 *BF UPDATED 06/02/08

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
PARKING CAR INTO PARKING BAY BETWEEN BUILDING SUPPORT AND OTHER CAR. WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE AND AT A STOP I REACHED TO PLACE CAR IN PARK WHEN FOR NO REASON THE CAR ACCELERATED OVER A CONCRETE PARKING STOP, THROUGH A DITCH, OUT OF THE DITCH BEFORE STRIKING ANOTHER TRUCK HEAD ON IN THE PARKING AREA ACROSS THE DITCH. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME AND I DID NOT TOUCH THE SHIFTER AT ALL! THE CAR COULD BE REVVING VERY HIGH AS IT MOVE FORWARD AND I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD TO NO AVAIL. PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH DEALERSHIP HAVE INSINUATED THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND THEY SEEM TO BE RESISTING TO LOOK INTO THIS MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. VERY CONCERNED THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN WHERE SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED!! *TR

AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
THE AIR BAG ON THE 2008 FORD MUSTANG IS TO CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE SEAT,I PURCHASED ONE FOR MY WIFE, SHE SITS UP RIGHT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH HER BACK AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT ,THE AIR BAG WAS TURN OFF WHEN SHE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR,FORD IS AWARE THAT THIS HAPPENED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,WE HAD THE CAR LESS THAN ONE MONTH AND IT WAS IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES DURING THIS TIME,WE HAD IT RETURNED UNDER THE LEMON LAW,BUT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IF YOU HAVE TO SIT SO CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE SEAT IN ORDER FOR THE AIR BAG TO BE TURNED ON. WE HAVE A 04 F-150,A 04 GRAN MARQUIS AND DROVE AN EXPLORER,AND A TAURUS WHILE HER CAR WAS IN THE SHOP AND NEVER HAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. FORD SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND FAULT WITH THE LIGHT, JUST THE PLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR BEING TO FAR TO THE FRONT OF THE SEAT. A SIMPLE MOVE CLOSER TO THE REAR OF THE SEAT WOULD SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
