“Vehicle engine killed when making a right hand turn at a green light. Without power steering the car drifted into the oncoming turn lane before I was able to manually steer the car back into my lane and pull over and stop. Once stopped, the car was able to restart when in park.”
NHTSA complaint #10129836, filed 2005-07, 36,037 miles“Air conditioner will intermittently start blowing hot air on passenger side. I have dual control air. After you shut the car off over night (or long period time) the air will work again and then 20 to 40 minutes into the drive it will start blowing hot on the passenger side and the driver's side is not as cool as it should be. I have taken this car to the ford dealer over 5 times for this problem and they still have not fixed it. I get it back and they think they have fixed it, but 2 or 3 days later it will break again. …”
