Consumer Description

THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE HOOD SEPARATED AND FLEW OFF OF THE CAR AND LANDED ON THE GROUND AND WAS RUN OVER BY THE CAR BEHIND. THE HOOD SEEMS TO BE MADE OF 2 PIECES SANDWICHED TOGETHER. THE TOP HALF OF THE ENTIRE HOOD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE BOTTOM HALF. THIS WAS A SAFETY RECALL ITEM AND FORD CLAIMS IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALER THAT DID THE REPAIR IN 1998 HAS CHANGED COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND SAID THEY DONT HAVE A DETAILED RECORD OF REPAIR. DEALER AND FORD BOTH CLAIM THAT REPAIR WAS WARRANTED FOR ONLY 12 MONTHS. IT SEEMS THE REPAIR WASNT SUFFICIENT. I THINK WE SHOULD EXPECT OUR AUTOMOBILES NOT TO FLY APART AND BECOME MISSLES THAT MAY INJURE OR KILL PEOPLE. FORD ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER . I AM TAKING IT TO FREEHOLD FORD IN FREEHOLD, NJ 732-462-3131. *AK
