ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
NHTSA CAMPAIGN #97V019000 MAY APPLY ALTHOUGH THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR IN OUR CAR FAILED IN WARM WEATHER HERE IN TUCSON, AZ!!! THE FAN "FROZE UP" AND STOPPED WORKING. THIS RESULTED IN ENORMOUS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. WE IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY SOMEONE TO DISCUSS THIS INCIDENT AND HOW I MIGHT HAVE SOME SUCCESS IN BILLING FORD/LINCOLN/MERCURY FOR THE COSTS OF REPAIR.

SPEEDOMETER FAILED AT 35,000 MILES. NEEDLE FLUCTUATES WILDLY AT ALL SPEEDS, RENDERING COMPLETELY INACCURATE/UNRELIABLE READINGS. BOTH DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO FIX DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER UNDER WARRANTY, SINCE CAR WAS FOUR MONTHS OUTSIDE THREE-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD (AGAIN, IT HAD ONLY 35,000 MILES WHEN PART FAILED). FORD ISSUED AN ADVISORY (ARTICLE NO. 97-12-5) TO ITS DEALERS ON 6/9/97 CONCERNING THE DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER, YET IT WILL NOT MAKE GOOD ON THE REPAIR BILLS WHICH TOTALED OVER $400.00. *AK
