Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY IDLER PULLEY BOLT BREAK FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE NEARLY RAN OFF OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TOLD THEM I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN BMW HAS HAD TWO RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND AN WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO URGE FORD TO TAKE THE SAME STANCE ON THEIR FAULTY PARTS.
