I RECEIVED AN UNUSUAL SAFETY BULLETIN FROM FORD WITH A DISCRIPTION OF HOW MECHANICS SHOULD INSPECT BALL JOINTS (STEERING LINKAGE). I SAID TO MYSELF THEN, WHEN I HAVE THIS INSPECTION PERFORMED, THE CAR WILL HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS RIGHT. $594.45 FOR BALL JOINT REPLACEMENTS AT 47,271 MILES! BALL JOINTS SHOULD LAST 100,000 MILES OR MORE. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE SINCE THEY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS ON NEW VEHICLES. DEFECTIVE STEERING LINKAGE IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD SUGGEST THEY DO A RECALL. THANK YOU.*AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP SEVEN TIMES SINCE PURCHASE FOR WARRANTY SERVICE PROBLEMS AND RECALLS. IN MAY OF 99 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WHEEL LUGS: NUTS. IN SEPTEMBER 99, NOVEMBER 99, AND MARCH 2000 IT WAS IN FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS; MOULDING REPLACEMENT; TWICE FOR FRONT END ALIGNMENTS (STEERS TO RIGHT); AND TRAILER HITCH RECALL. THE CONSTANT SMELLL OF BURNING OIL HAS JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED ON LATEST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP 5/15/00 AS NEEDING A NEW CYLINDER HEAD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY COULD NEVER FIND IT. NOW PARTS ARE ON ORDER---WILL TAKE 3-4 DAYS TO OBTAIN PARTS BEFORE THEY CAN REPAIR IT. REGARDING THE "WINDNOISE" DEALER SAYS ITS "NORMAL" YET SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM (996780 & TSB 99-6-5). IN NOVEMBER OF 1999, THE LEFT "TIE ROD" BROKE OFF WHILE WE WERE IN PHOENIX....
