ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILURE...PART MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. DEALER STATES MANUFACTURE HAD ISSUED A "CAMPAIGN" TO REPLACE AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY KNEW PART WAS FAULTY...BUT ONLY IF VEHICLE WAS IN "TAXI OR LIMO" SERVICE. I AM OUTRAGED THAT MANUFACTURE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PART IS FAULTY BUT DOES NOT REPLACE WITH ADEQUATE REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 56000 MILES. COST TO ME TO REPAIR ALMOST $900.00. CALL TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAS YET TO BE RETURNED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
WHEN DRIVING UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. THERE IS SOMETIMES A WARNING THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO OCCUR BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL FAIL. I EXPERIENCED THIS LAST YEAR AND UPON REPLACING THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD) THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NOW. THIS BATTERY IS A 60 MONTH BATTERY AND IS ONLY 10 MONTHS OLD.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 1998 LINCOLN TOWN CAR (APPROX 35,000 MILES) DRAMATICALLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT DURING BRAKING WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS ARE WET AND THE CAR IS TRAVELLING IN EXCESS OF 40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED IN FORDMOTOR COMPANY'S REPAIR BULLITEN 98-13-4 DTD 07/06/98. NOTWITHSTANDING HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED BY AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC (NAPA APPROVED) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SERVICE BULLITEN THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURED AFTER 3,000 MILES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, PARTICULARLY SINCE THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ARE ALREADY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF WET CONDITIONS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 1998 LINCOLN TOWNCAR. ON JANUARY 11TH, MY CAR WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT THE HEADGASKET WAS LEAKING AT THE 4TH CYLANDER AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $300.00 AND STATED IN WRITING THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE HEAD GASKET. ON JANUARY 19, MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE NEXT DAY I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS MY HEADGASKET AND THEY OVERLOOKED THE LEAK AT THE EXACT LOCATION I TOLD THEM BASED ON MY MECHANICS ADVISE. NOW THEY WANT AN ADDITIONAL $1200.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE DEALER. MY CONCERN IS NOW THE ENGINE MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY THE LACK OF PROPER ATTENTION BY THE DEALER.
