WHEN I PURCHASESD THIS CAR FROM PEYTON CRAMER FORD LAST SUMMER I COMPLAINED ABOUT A GROANING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RACK & PINION, WHICH I THOUGHT SOUNDED FAIRLY SERIOUS. WHEN THE PARTS WERE REPLACED THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE AND A NEW DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE AND MORE STEERING PARTS WERE REPLACED. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE MY "SIMPLE" COMPLAINT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. I EXPRESSED CONCERN TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE NUMBER OF STEERING PROBLEM THEY FOUND AND WAS ASSURED THAT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY SAFE. THREE WEEKS AGO AS I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT, DRY STRETCH OF ROAD, THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE A VIOLENT RIGHT TURN. WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT IT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO THE RIGHT, SLAMMING INTO A CURB CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE...

I HAVE HAD THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. THE FRONT HALF SHAFTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THEY HAVE FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE PAID FOR MANY FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS WHICH WON'T HOLD. I'VE PAID FOR NEW BRAKES AND MANY TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCNING WHICH ALSO HAVEN'T HELPED. CARL GREGORY FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE FRONT END OF MY CAR AND REFUSE TO DO ANY OTHER REPAIRS UNTIL THE ENGINEER DRIVES IT. I'VE HAD ONE APPOINTMENT WITH THE ENGINEER FOR WHICH HE DIDN'T SHOW UP. THE NEXT APPOINTMENT IS JULY 29 WHO KNOWS WHAT RUN AROUND I WILL GET THEN. I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END OF MY CAR FOR OVER 7 MONTHS AND 10000 MILES. THE CAR WILL NOT HOLD AN ALIGNMENT, THE FRONT END POPS,GRINDS, AND CRACKS, AND DRIVES VERY LOOSE. IT DOES NOT HANDLE THE ROAD WELL AT ALL....
