2-YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. PER INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, PROBLEM WAS A FACTORY DEFECT--ONLY EXPLANATION. I WILL PROCEED TO PLACE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT IN FULL!

LEFT REAR ROTOR CUT BADLY DUE TO FROZEN CALIPER. MILAGE 21,475. BOTH REAR BRAKES REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND FAILURE ON LEFT REAR ROTOR AT 35,140 MILES. DETERMINED BY DEALER TO BE "NORMAL WEAR". BOTH REAR BRAKES REPLACED AT CUSTOMER COST. FRONT BRAKES INDICATE NORMAL WEAR.

BRAKING SYSTEM NEEDED REPLACEMENT DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR OF PARTS. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE AT CONSUMER'S COST. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

AT SLOW SPEED WHEN BRAKING THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE CAUSING ACCIDENT. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING 45MPH TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE INCREASED SPEED & MAINTAINED THAT SPEED. CRUISE CONTROL NOT ON. VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKING & RPMS HAD CAME DOWN WITHOUT BRAKING. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER FOR A CHECK.*AK VEHICLE TAKES OFF BY ITSELF AND CAN BE SLOWED ONLY BY BRAKING. *YH

WHILE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ANOTHER DRIVER HIT CONSUMER AT ABOUT 50 MPH, AND CONSUMER'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

THE CAR IS IDLING UP TO 4RMP IN "PARK" THE CAR ACCELERATE WHEN TAKING OUT OF PARK IN PUT INTO GEAR

FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS SEPARATING AND STILL HAD PLENTY OF TREAD REPLACED FRONT TWO TIRES WITH THE SAME GENERAL TIRES BUT WORRIED THAT THESE ARE SOME OF THE TIRES THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED WITH THE OTHER GENERAL TIRES THAT ARE BEING RECALLED NOW. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

AFTER 40 MPH THE CAR HAS A SURGING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE SENSOR WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED FORD MOTOR CO AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A SURGING PROBLEM WHEN THE HYDROCARBON BUILDS UP. THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RECALL THEM UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE RPM'S GO UP. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN. PATALANO FORD EXPECTS ME TO PAY FOR THE THROTTLE SENSOR EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM RIDING IN AN UNSAFE CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?
