DT: THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION # PE05033 FOR THE 1099-2002 MODELS, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDED THE 1998 MODEL THAT WAS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS AS DESCRIBED IN PE05033.. TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP, AND THEY HAVE REPLACED A JAMMED MODULE ON AUGUST 30, 2004, AND ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. HAD NO TROUBLE UNTIL IT RAINED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THEN, THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AND IT STARTED.

I JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE ON THE CNBC FINANCIAL WEB PAGE. DURING EXTREME PERIODS RAIN, DAMPNESS OR HIGH HUMIDITY, MY TRUCK WOULD NOT RUN CORRECTLY. IT STARTED OUT WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING (OR THE CRUISE CONTROL), BUT DROVE FINE DOWN THE ROAD. THEN AS TIME & MONTHS WENT ON THE SYMPTOMS SEEMED TO GET WORSE. BESIDES THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING OR THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT RAINED, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED NOT SHIFTING AT ITS NORMAL ''SHIFTING POINTS'' & THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD FLASH ON & OFF REPEATEDLY.

A SPARK PLUG THAT HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY TORQUED AT THE FORD FACTORY LOOSTENED AND DESTROYED THE CYLINDER HEAD. IT TOOK THE FORD DEALER 2 WEEKS TO REMOVE THE ENGINE FROM THE VEHICLE, GET THE PARTS, AND MAKE THE REPAIR.

#720523 | March 23, 2000

AS WE PULLED OUT OF A TOLL BOOTH ON THE G.S.PKWY WE HEARD A LOUD BANG IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER. APPARENTLY A SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN FROM THE ENGINE. IT REMAINED ATTACHED TO THE WIRE BUT NEITHER THAT PLUG OR A NEW ONE COULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CYLINDER WAS STRIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KAYTES FORD. WE'RE HOPING FORD WILL INCUR THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING IT SINCE THIS SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED ESPECIALLY ON A VEHICLE WITH 41,000 MILES. WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000. *AK
