WE BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF A SEAT BELT, INCLUDING MOTORIZED RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, SHOULD BE FULLY SUPPORTED BY MANDATORY FACTORY WARRANTEES PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REFUSED REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A MOTORIZED SHOULD BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE BROUGHT THIS COMPLAINT TO THE ATTENTION OF SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN, WHO RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. WE SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $539, WHICH WE PAID TO HAVE THE FORD DEALER REPLACE THE SHOULD BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM. R. UNGER. *AK

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I HAVE JUST BECOME AWARE THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE STALLING IS DUE TO A TFI MODULE THAT FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH. I HAVE STALLED MANY TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT AS A RESULT OF THIS. I DRIVE WITH A TODDLER IN THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE AVOIDED INJURY THUS FAR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE FORD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANOTHER LIFE IS LOST.*AK
