1998 Mercury Tracer Steering Problems

“Many times car in shop for squealing steering wheel noise when turning a far right, rattling noise, grinding noise from engine, rallting noise from driver's side door jam, gas-pil/exhaust smell coming thru when AC/defrost on, brakes squealing even after new brake pads, many times I was told that something maybe coming loose that I would have to wait until it breaks before they can fix it. Just recently as of 2-6-01 ford factory guy told me I was imagining things. He along with the service manager told me that there isn't a problem, and will have to wait until it breaks before they can fix. …”

“Consumer complained about having problems with a right tie rod and a right coil spring. He had taken vehicle to a repair shop and was told by a mechanic what was wrong with the vehicle. Vehicle was real dangerous to be driven. Manufacturer was not contacted at the time of this call. Dealer was contacted and replaced the damaged parts with the warranty. Vehicle had less than 30000 miles.”
