Consumer Description

RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING CAUSED CAR TO SWERVE VIOLENTLY AT 55MPH, DRIVER SLOWED TO 20MPH TO AVOID BEING PULLED OFF ROAD. DRIVER TRIED TO SLOWLY DRIVE TO REPAIR STATION BUT CAR KEPT WOBBLING ON ROAD SO STOPPED AND HAD CAR TOWED INTO GARAGE..IGNITION /LOCK SYSTEM FAILED IN JANUARY AND LEFT DRIVER STRANDED. CAR COULD NOT BE STARTED. IN ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT OCCURED IN OCTOBER 2000 THE FUEL ASSEMBLY RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY REPAIRED AND CAUSED CAR ACCELERATOR TO NOT FUNCTION. THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 1-3MPH AT FULL ACELLERATION. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I DO NOT HAVE PAPERWORK ON THIS INCIDENT BUT PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AT BERGSTROM FORD, NEENAH, WI 54956*AK
