“I bought the car about a year and half ago and right off was having problems with the transmission. Very disappionted because I love my fords I checked the fluilds and kept it up had the gasket replaced. And it still jerks into gear but its an automatic ! What concerns me now my I had my rotars and brakes replaced and my car is still eating up tires too and bouncing all over the road!!”
NHTSA complaint #10081038, filed 2004-07“Car stalled out (35mph) near end of 200 mile trip. Was diagnosed by king l-m as a fuel pump failure, and replaced at a cost of $507. Nhtsa compliant data base indicates a large number of fuel pump failures, and many other complaints (I.e., continued stalling, loss of power, electrical shorting in fuel pump assembly, etc.). I'm beginning to wonder whether you people ever do anything with the data that consumers provide. Don't you realize that loss of power (engine shutdown) presents a major safety risk? …”
