WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE SUDDENLY HIT THE CURB WALL ON THE LEFT SIDE AND THEN AGAIN ON THE RIGHT. UPON EXAMINATION, FRONT TIRES INSIDE TREAD WAS BALD APPROX. 2INCHES IN WIDTH DUE TO FRONT ALIGNMENT BEING OFF. *JG (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT) *JG

DEALER STATES WIRE IN WIRING HARNESS UNDER RIGHT FENDER CAUSED TAIL LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. FAILED DUE TO CORROSION FROM WATER SPLASHING UNDER FENDER. DEALER REPAIRED BUT WAS NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER SAID THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. TO ME IT LOOKS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

WHEN CONSUMER PUTS VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT WILL ACCELERATE WITHOUT APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER INSTALLED A PART, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*JB

VEHICLE WAS GOING 70 MPH WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL FELL OFF, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. AND WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK CONSUMER STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON BUT IT ENGAGED ON ITS OWN. *YH

AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO PERFORM WHEN TURNEN ON. HOT AIR BLEW OUT. AC IS USED ONLY HALF THE YEAR AS WE LIVE IN NY WHERE THE HEAT IS USED MORE THAN AC. $500. TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL AC COMPRESSOR HOSE WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK

FIRST OF ALL YOUR ONE-SIZE-FITS ALL APPROACH WITH FORM-HELL SUCKS!!! NOW FOR THE FORD PROBLEM. THE BRAKE ROTORS WARP IN 10K TO 18 K MILES OF DRIVING!!! FORD'S ENGINEERING SUCKS!!! FORD WILL NOT ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO SPEAK TO THE FACTORY REP. FORD THINKS ROTORS ARE A MAINTENANCE ITEM. FORD IS WRONG!!! FORD UNDERSIZED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY DID NOT SLECT THE PROPER MATERIAL FOR THE BRAKE PAD MATERIAL AND FOR THE ROTORS!!! THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF TITAINUM TO PREVENT WARPING. MY CAR DID NOT CRASH BUY I COULD NOT TRUST THE BRAKES. I HAD TO LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR AHEAD. THE WARPED ROTORS CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JUMP AND TWIST DURING BRAKING. THIS MADE THE CAR UNSAFE. I NEVER HEARD THE WARNING SOUND THAT TELLS YOU THAT YOUR BRAKE PADS HAD GOTTEN TO END OF LIFE. THE ROTORS ALWAYS WARPED BEFORE THE BRAKE PADS WORE OUT!!! I DON'T OWN THIS CAR ANY LONGER. I TRADED IT IN ON A HONDA.*AK
