JUST UNDER 30000 MILES THE FRONT BRAKES REQUIRED REPLACMENT. NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE INSTALLED, HOWEVER WITHIN A WEEKS TIME THE CAR WAS BACK IN FOR MORE BRAKE WORK. THE PADS WERE REPLACED BY THE SHOP, BUT THE SQEAKING HAS RETURNED AGAIN.( WE DID NOT HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.) THE FUEL GAUGE READS ERRACTICLY BETWEEN FULL AND 1/4. I HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THIS FIXED YET. THE ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A HARD STARTING PROBLEM WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. IT WILL CRANK AND NOT START. THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS, IT WILL START BUT IDLE ROUGH.

TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND BALANCED, ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED (FOR THE 2ND TIME IN THIS CARS YOUNG LIFE), AND THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO STOP SHAKING. SEEMS LIKE WE'RE PLAYING EENY,MEENY,MINY, MOE WITH MY MONEY AND TIME. STILL NO RESOLUTION. *JB

ONE OF MY OEM TIRES (FIRESTONE AFFINITY) SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE SUCH AS NAILS OR SCREWS INVOLVED. THE TIRE'S OUTSIDE SIDEWALL FAILED RESULTING IN A SPLIT LARGE ENOUGH THAT A CREDIT CARD COULD SLIDE THROUGH IT. THE OEM TIRES HAD LESS THAN 18,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. THE PRESSURE HAD BEEN CHECKED DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE VISIT ON ALL OF THE TIRES ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THIS. AFTER TAKING THE TIRE TO A CORPORATE FIRESTONE STORE, THEY BLAMED THE FAILURE AS "IMPACT DAMAGE". BASICALLY THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT FOR HITTING SOMETHING AND NOT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. IF I HAD ACTUALLY HIT SOMETHING, THEN I COULD ACCEPT THE PROBLEM. BUT SINCE I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING WHEN THE TIRE FAILED, I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER OEM FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES ON MY 2001 FORD TAURUS. THERE WERE FOUR PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AT THE TIME THIS TIRE FAILED AND ALL WOULD REITTERATE THE FACT THAT NOTHING IN THE ROADWAY WAS STRUCK TO CAUSE THE SIDEWALL FAILURE. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING LESS THAN 20 MPH WHEN THE TIRE FAILED AS I APPROACED A STOP LIGHT.

PRESSURE EGR VALVE FAILURE. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM BY EXTENDING WARRANTY FOR 2 YEARS, 24K, BUT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE VIEWED FOR POSSIBLE MANDATORY RECALL. *NLM

WHEN BRAKES WAS APPLIED, THERE WAS A VIBRATION SHOCK FROM THE PEDAL AND THEY DIDN'T HOLD. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. TS

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT AND MOSTLY SIDE COLLISION WHERE MY CAR WAS TOTALED. A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF. I TOOK THE CAR (2001 FORD TAURUS SES) TO COWLES FORD IN WOODBRIDGE VA. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY PROPERLY IF I WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT ON 12/27/02. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT AND ONLY ONE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT NOT ON THE SIDE I WAS ON. I WAS DRIVING, WEARING MY SEATBELT THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. DURING THE ACCIDENT I WAS STILL THROWN INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR EVEN THOUGHT MY SEATBELT WAS WORN. I SUSTAINED SOME MINOR TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND AM CURRENTLY STILL BEING TREATED FOR THESE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO REPORT THE PROBLEM SO THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE. THEY HAVE IGNORED MY PHONE CALLS AND HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINTS. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO FIGHT THIS BUT AM LOOKING FOR ANY HELP FROM YOU IN MAKING SURE THAT THE CARS WE BUY FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SPEND WILL BE SAFE FOR OUR FAMILIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *NLM

THE DEFROSTER/AIR ON MY 2001 FORD TAURUS LX DOES NOT DEFOG MY WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD GETS FOGGED UP.*AK

I RECIENTLY HAD THE RECALL FOR THE WIPER MOTOR COVER REPAIRED. SINCE THE REPAIR MY WIPERS WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE WEATHER IS BELOW FREEZING. ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP THEY WILL WORK FINE (PROVIDED THE TEMP IS ABOVE 30 DEGREES). I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG, EACH TIME THE WIPERS WILL WORK ONCE THERE, AND NO ACTION IS TAKEN. (MY CAR IS CURRENTLY JUST OVER THE FREE WARRANTY MILEAGE). I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS BEFORE THEY WERE FIXED AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMTHING DONE. THE WIPERS ACT LIKE THERE MAY BE MOISTURE IN A CONNECTION THAT FREEZES AND PUSHES THE CONNECTION APART, OR INTERFERES WITH ELECTRICAL CONDUCTION, UNTIL THE CAR WARMS SUFFICENTLY TO GET CONDUCTION TO CONTINUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH SOME ANSWERS. THANK YOU.

CONSUMER STATED HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE PEDAL. ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS 2" HIGHER THAT THE GAS PEDAL. DEALER WAS CONTACED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH IT. *TS *TT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TOGETHER WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER'S FOOT TO HIT BOTH AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TT

DURING A SNOW STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD GONE OUT. THE CONSUMER HAD GOTTEN THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T BE OF ASSISTANCE. THE CONSUMER THEN HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE THEY REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. MR SCC *NLM

THE BRAKE AND SPEED PEDAL ARE TWO AND HALF INCHES APART. CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO APPLY BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS
