Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD GAUGES, TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, GAS, AND TEMPERATURE GO HAYWIRE CONSTANTLY. ONE TIME ON A HILL, I COULD NOT PUT THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK SO THAT I COULD ASSIST A HANDICAPPED FAMILY MEMBER OUT OF MY VEHICLE. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE WAS PINNED TO THE RIGHT, AND THE SHIFT INDICATOR COULDN'T MOVE TO THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE PARK. I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH GAS I HAD, THE SPEED I WAS GOING, OR THE RUNNING TEMPERATURE OF MY VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RAN CONSTANTLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO CODE SHOWING UP IN THE EMISSION CODE SCANNER.. $ SETS OF INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS WERE INSTALLED AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. 3 BY FORD, ONE BY ANOTHER MECHANIC. I HAVE A CRACKED REAR AXLE, THE VAN SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE FRONT-END SUB-FRAME. *TR
