1991 FORD AEROSTAR Complaints

I HAD MY STARTER REPLACED BREAKS AND RELAY AND IT STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM I CANNOT EVEN TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS

I OWNED A 1991 FORD AEROSTAR WHICH BURST INTO FLAMES AND WAS DESTROYED. I HAVE BEEN BOUNCED AROUND TRYING TO GET SATISFACTIONS BUT SINCE THERE WAS AN ONGOING CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPENSATION. THE CONSUMERS WIFE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER, RAN TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BUT BY THE TIME HE RETURNED THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. UPDATED 04/14/10.*JB

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHIMMY. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM TWICE, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ANOTHER MOTORIST YELLED AT THE CONSUMER THAT THE VAN WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE APPEARED TO BE COMING FORM THE MIDDLE TO THE REAR. CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VAN. CONSUMER SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, AND FIRE WENT OUT. A TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE VAN AND STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 99V094000 WAS ISSUED. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED AND CAUSED A FIRE WHICH MELTED THE REAR TIRES. CONSUMER WAS TRAVELLING APPROX 65MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE.*JB.

I WENT TO FIRESTONE IN ST. JOE, MO AND HAD MY AIR CONDITIONING RECHARGED AFTER 9 YEARS OF DRIVING MY VAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE A HOSE ON THE FRONT OF THE VECHICAL AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO THEN ADD FREON TO THE SYSTEM. THAT WAS IN JULY 19, 2001. IT DIDN'T SEEM AS COLD AS IT HAD BEFORE BUT IT WAS OK. THEN WHEN I NEEDED THE AIR THIS SUMMER I HAD NONE. THEY SAID THAT THE HOSE THAT THEY INSTALLED THEY LATTER WERE TOLD WOULDN'T HOLD THE PRESSURE (I THINK) BUT THAT NOW SENCE IT WAS OVER 6 MONTHS THEY WOULDN'T OR COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT COST ME $304.07. THEY SAY THAT YOU PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?*AK

AS SOON AS CONSUMER SHIFTED TO DRIVE, VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, WITH TIRES SPINNING. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES, THEN PARK BRAKE, AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. CONSUMER ACCIDENTLY SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND, VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP.*AK *JB
