Consumer Description

SINCE AN INITIAL VISIT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN "OUT OF BALANCE TIRE" PROBLEM THE VEHICLE HAS HAD 6 NEW FORD FACTORY REPLACEMENT AXLES IN THE FRONT PASSANGER SIDE AND 2 ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AROUND TOWN BECAUSE AXLES WILL LET GO WITHOUT WARNING. THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE LAST YEAR AND HAS COME UP WITH NO CAUSE FOR THE REPEATED FAILURES. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALSO HAD TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO WORK DONE BY THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH RUINED THE LOCKUP TORQUE CONVERTER. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN WARRANTEE THROUGH FORD WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE PROBLEM AS OF MAY 15TH 2000. NO RESOLUTION IS IN SITE THAT I CAN SEE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN A FORD DEALER. *AK
