THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK DOES NOT OPEN USING THE REMOTE. BMW IS ASKING TO PAY THEM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND EVENTUAL REPAIR. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE COST SHOULD BE ON BMW. *TR

I HAD JUST OVER 25,000 MILES AND MY FIRST MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CAR JUST STARTED STALLING AND POWER STEERING LOCKED UP, ALSO WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE. THEN THE CAR COMPETELY STALLED AND COULD NOT BE MOVED AT ALL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SHIFTER. MY CAR AGAIN WAS FINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY A MONTH TO TWO MONTHS THEN MY WARNIGN CHIMES WERE COMING ON BUT INDICATING NOTHING. AFTER A TOTAL OF A TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO A MIM. SPEED ON NON-HIGHWAY MY POWER STEERING LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED STALLING AND JUMPING, STEERING LOCKED UP AND CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, IT WAS FINE FOR THE TIME AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I SENT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER STATES IT IS THE BODY CONTROL MODULAR. I AM AFRAID THAT MY LIFE MY BE IN DANGER IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED NOT TO MENTION THE LIVES OF OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL OTHER CHEVY COBALT OWNERS. *TR

PURCHASED A 2005 FORD MUSTANG IN MAY, 2005. FORD FAILED TO NOTIFY COSTUMERS THAT SOME OF THE 2005 FORD MUSTANGS MAY EXHIBIT THE FUEL BANK BEING SLOW OR DIFFICULT TO FILL. BASICALLY, THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHILE PUMPING GAS, AS IF THE TANK WAS FULL. FORD DID ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN, TSB 05-4-8, AFTER I PURCHASING THE CAR, SUGGESTING THAT FORD'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL REPLACE THE GAS TANK. THE BULLETIN STATED THAT THE CONDITION MAY BE DUE TO THE FUEL TANK VAPOR VENTING SYSTEM INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. ALTHOUGH THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED THE PROBLEM REMAINED. FORD DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A DEFECT, BUT RATHER A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW MODEL OF FORD MUSTANGS. AS A RESULT, I COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR ON EXTENDED TRIPS BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO FIND A PUMP THAT WILL ALLOW GAS INTO THE CAR. OUT OF 7 SERVICE STATIONS IN VALLEJO, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO USE 1 SUCCESSFULLY, AND EVEN THAT ONE NOW FAILED TO GIVE ME MORE THAN $10.00 OR LESS WORTH OF GAS. *AK
