STEERING COLUMN SHAFT SEPARATED, CAUSING HORN AND AIR BAGS TO BE INOPERATIVE.*AK

MOTORBELT BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. MANUFACTURER RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLE'S BUT NOT CONSUMERS MAKE. NLM

HEADLIGHTS (HIGHBEAMS AND LOWBEAMS) WENT OUT INCLUDING DASH AND PARKLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AT 55 MPH.

HAD A FORD DEALER PERFORM THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE, WHICH INCLUDED CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE / DRIVE WHEN SHIFTED TO THAT GEAR: QUITE A FEW SECONDS WOULD PASS & THEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GRAB WITH A BANG. WHEN CHECKED, THE FLUID WAS BLACK AND SMELLED BURNED. HAD THE FLUID CHANGED AGAIN. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, WE DEVELOPED FORWARD CLUTCH FAILURE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO ORIGINAL FORD TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 60,000 WE HAD NO PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND. HAD DIFFICULTY FINDING A USED TRANSMISSION AS ALL THE USED PARTS DEALERS CAN NOT KEEP THEM IN STOCK - THEY GO OUT FASTER THAN THEY CAN FIND THEM. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR DEFECT SUFFERED BY A LOT OF TRACER OWNERS.

FUNNY NOISES WHEN DRIVING DUE TO A HOLE IN CONVERTER. ALSO, BOLT FELL OUT FROM ENGINE, CAUSING ENGINE TO FALL. VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH AFTER OIL LEAKED OUT. REPAIRWORK DONE AT OWNERS EXPENSE. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
