“Problems with headlights blowing out, replaced bulb, still no high beam. Lights completely went out one night. Had to have family member follow me home. Battery detached to get lights inside off.

Vehicle cutting off, shop states that it is due to problem with emission. Ac runs hot when vehicle keep turning off. Vehicle acceleration is bad. Vehicle even when running on interstate appear to be having difficulty maintaining speed, appears to be wanting to cut off. …”
NHTSA complaint #10041464, filed 2003-10, 87,500 miles“With no warning spare tire cable snapped while driving down road causing spare tire to fall out and strike rear wheel of vehicle, then flew off side of road. Discussion with Ford indicated this is unheard of and they wanted $300+ to repair. Discussions with multiple other shops (not Ford) indicate this does happen with this type of spare mount. Repairs completed for under $150. I am concerned that spare can come out and once loose hit other vehicles or property/persons.”
