NHTSA complaint #858291, filed 2000-03“Third time problem accurred/repaired in last 11 months. Ford acknowledges problem with bracket assembly to which tensioner pulley is attached; also notes belt length has been changed to a longer version. Inspite of acknowledgement, Ford will not cover all costs associated with recurring repair, either current or past. Net cost of previous repairs: approx. $600; both failed at under approx 6 months, both with approx 15k miles. Current repair cost: $approx $850. Safety concern: when pulley fails, belt is thrown resulting in no power steering, brakes, etc. …”
