VEHICLE FAILED TO START 11 TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE CAR WAS "FIXED;" HOWEVER, WITHIN WEEKS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP ONLY CONTACTED THE FORD MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE IN ASCERTAINING THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AND SUBSEQUENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AFTER LEGAL REPRESENTATION WAS OBTAINED. A COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC WORK-UP WAS COMPLETED WHICH REVEALED NO INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM. AS A RESULT, WE WERE INFORMED WE COULD, MOST LIKELY, CONTINUE TO EXPRERIENCE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AS LONG AS WE OWNED IT. DESPITE THE ONGOING DIFFICULTY WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO WORK TOWARD A RESOLUTION IN THIS ISSUE BY REFUSING TO EITHER REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST OF THE AUTOMIBLE MINUS WEAR AND TEAR OR PAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESENT VALUE...

LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING OUR VAN WE HAD TO JUMP START IT AND LOST THE CABLE ON THE POWER SLIDING DOOR. SINCE THEN THE CAR'S ENGINE WAS WORKED ON BUT STILL STALLS OUT SOMETIMES.THE TRANSMISSION STILL JERKS IN PARK.(THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM.) FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR, AFTER A NEW CABLE,NUMEROUS ADJUSTINGS,ALIGHNMENTS AND TWO CONTROL MODULES PUT IN. IT STILL WORKS ERATICLEY AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO SEE A PROBLEM. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, WHEN IT FINALLY OPENS IT WILL NOT SHUT. WHEN IT IS CLOSED IT DOES NOT LATCH AND THE INTERIOR AND DOOR AJAR LIGHTS STAY ON. IT CONSTANTLEY MAKES A RACKET AND POPPING NOISE. ON OCCASION THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD!! WORKING WITH A FORD REP HE STATES THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT TO BRING IT IN "AGAIN" FOR REPAIRS....

THE REAR SEATBELTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKED WHEN INSTALLING CAR SEATS, IT HAS HAPPENED TO EACH SIDE ONCE, REPORTED TO FORD, NO REPLY, REPLACED BY DEALER. I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BREAK THIS PIECE PUTTING IN A CAR SEAT AND TIGHTENING IT. OTHER PROBEM, SEVERAL TIMES VEHICLE HAS DIED AT A STOP IN MAJOR INTERSECTIONS AND THEN WILL NOT RE-START, WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT FIRE, LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS. HAD IT INTO DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.
