Consumer Description

I AM PRESENTING TWO PROBLEMS: FIRST CONCERNS THE SUV HANDLING: THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO TIP OVER AS WE MAKE SHARP CURVES AT POSTED SPEEDS. I HAVE MADE FORD AWARE OF THIS AS A "RIDER" ISSUE FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM- THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. IT DOESN'T PROVIDE MEDIAN TEMPERATURES. IT PROVIDES ONLY EXTREMELY COLD OR EXTREMELY HOT SERVICE. I HAVE AN ACTIVE COMPLAINT IN TO THE FORD AND HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY THE DEALER TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE A LINGERING CONCERN ABOUT FEELING THAT THE SUV IS GOING TO TIP OVER AND THE ULTIMATE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE (ALTHOUGH THIS HAS NOT OCCURRED).*AK
