The contact owns a 1993 Ford E-150. The contact stated that upon attempting to pull into a parking space and turning the steering wheel, she heard an abnormal sound coming from underneath the front driver's side seat and the steering wheel seized. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact contacted AAA who inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that the gear box had detached from the subframe. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front driver's side subframe had three holes and one of the holes had expanded significantly and needed to be welded prior to fastening the gear box to the subframe. The independent mechanic informed the contact that they could not weld the subframe. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that the next availability was in approximately two months. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TREAD FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRES SUDDENLY RIPPED OPEN AND DAMAGED THE BODY AND THE SEWAGE SYSTEM OF THE MOTOR HOME.

THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 189,987 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,980.

ON OCTOBER 9, 2009, PURSUANT TO FORD RECALL 05S28, A LOCAL FORD DEALER, DAVIES FORD, CHARLEROI, PENNSYLVANIA, INSTALLED A WIRING HARNESS ON MY VAN. ONLY FIVE DAYS LATER, WHILE MY VAN WAS PARKED, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF,AND THE KEYS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, MY VAN CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. AN EXPERT INSPECTED THE VAN AND DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE EXACT LOCATION WHERE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND SCDS WERE INSTALLED AND THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE SCDS. THE DEALER PROMISED TO GIVE MA A VAN OF EQUAL VALUE OR AN AMOUNT OF MONEY EQUALING THE VAN'S VALUE, BUT AFTER TWO YEARS, RENEGED ON ITS PROMISE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT TALK WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF THE USE OF THE VAN SINCE OCTOBER 14, 2009 AND HAVE INCURRED HUGE EXPENSES FOR TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE, TRAUMA AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. I REALIZE THAT I AM ONLY ONE OF THOUSANDS OF FORD VEHICLE OWNERS WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF THEIR VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE SCDS, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION OF MY LOSS AND THEN INFORM ME OF YOUR FINDINGS..

COMPLETE TREAD SEPARATION SUDDENLY OCCURRED ON NY TURNPIKE. ALL 6 TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE WERE REPLACED WITH THIS BRAND ABOUT 10000 MILES AGO. CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE OTHER TIRES. SINCE THESE ARE NOT IN RECALL, DO I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL AT OWN EXPENSE? ANY RECOURSE FOR ME TOWARD MANUFACTURER? FAILURE CERTAINLY WAS UNUSUAL AND SCARY BUT DID NOT RESULT IN INJURY. WE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH TIRES ON REAR RIGHT BUT HAVE NOT YET REPLACED THE OTHER FOUR.REII( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/75R16M )

AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES, ALL THE TIRES EXPERIENCED INTERNAL SEPERATION WHICH ALLOWED AIR PRESSURE TO PENETRATE BETWEEN THE LAYERS. THIS CAUSED BULGING WHICH WAS NOTICED BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE TIRES WERE REPLACED IT WAS NOTED THAT SOME TYPE OF PATCH WAS APPLIED INTERNALLY TO THE TIRES TO "OVERCOME" THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH THE TIRES, AS NOTED. MICHELIN SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AT NO CHARGE AS THEY WERE IN DANGER OF IMMINENT FAILURE! AS IT WAS, WE HAD TO PAY OVER $ 400 TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. (DOT NUMBER: NOT KNOWN TIRESIZE: LT245/75 R)

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WHEN EXAMINING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED STAINS ON FUEL LINES AND FUEL TANK FROM LEAKAGE. 1.THE FUEL RETURN HOSE IS BADLY CRACKED NEAR THE FUEL TANK AND HAS BEEN LEAKING. 2. THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE FUEL RETURN LINE IS STAINED FROM FUEL WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SPRAYED UPWARD FROM THE FUEL LINE. 3. THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN LEAKAGE ONTO THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHICH HAS FLOWED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TANK, POSSIBLY FROM THE SPRAY FROM THE FUEL RETURN LINE OR BAD GASKETS ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK . 4. THERE ARE 2 DEEP CRACKS IN THE RUBBER HOSE WHICH RUNS FROM THE FUEL FILLER TO THE TANK, THERE IS NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE FROM THESE CRACKS. I FELT THAT THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE APPEARING ON A 1993 VEHICLE AND THAT I SHOULD NOTIFY NHTSA OF THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU, DOUG NELSON

TIRE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP VEHICLE. FIRESTONE DEALER IN AURORA COLORADO, STORE # 028924 TOLD ME THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED AT THE DECATOR PLANT. THEY TREATED THIS LIKE A RECALL AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT NO COST WITH GENERAL TIRES. THE FIRST TIRE TO DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING UNDER IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES LOST ITS TREAD ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, PRIOR TO PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AT DECATOR PLANT. SECOND TIRE CAME APART IN WYOMING. I MADE THIS REPORT THINKING THAT THE PROBLEMS AT DECATOR MIGHT EXTEND BEYOND THE TIRES CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED, AS THE AFFINITY TIRES ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THANKS. DAVE ASHTON( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75R15 )

1ST BLEWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND SHED THE TREAD. NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE. THE SECOND TIRE ONLY 3 WEEKS LATER HAD A DAMAGED TREAD THAT WAS NOT ROAD HAZARD. IT WAS ALSO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE 3RD TIRE HAD A BULGE ON THE SIDE WALL AND WAS REPLACED I( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75/15 )

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM WITH NO LUCK WHATSOEVER. FINALLY I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER HERE IN SANTA CRUZ, CA. NORTH BAY FORD INTIALLY AGREED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS SHOULD NOT BE GETTING THAT HOT (GLOWING ORANGE) SO THEY RAN A BUNCH OF DIAGNOSTIC TEST(S). ALL THE ON BOARD SYTEMS CHECKED OUT AND SHOWED NO PROBLEMS SO THEY CALLED FORD HEADQUARTERS IN DEARBORN MICH. AND THE FORD TECHS SAID THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I DECIDED TO CALL THREE OTHER FORD DEALERSHIPS IN THE MONTEREY AND SAN JOSE AREA AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE PERSONS. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING ALL THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONDED BY ASKING ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. FOR THE EXAUST MANIFOLDS TO GLOW ORANGE I'M GUESSING THE ARE REACHING TEMPETURE OF NEAR 1800 DEGREES.THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL BUT IF IT IS I FEEL THAT IT MUST BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN.

HELLO, MY NAME IS TED AND I CURRENTLY OWN 1993 FORD CLUBWAGON, AND I'VE HAD IT FOR NEARLY 5 YEARS. (PLEASE EXCUSE MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CAR. I DON'T REALLY KNOW ABOUT PARTS OF VEHICLE.... ) ANYWAY, I'VE NEVER FOUND ANY PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT IT TENDS TO LOSE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT QUITE OFTEN, AND HEARD REALLY LOUD, DULL "THUMB" SOUND EVERY TIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO COUNTERCLOCKWISE. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROBLEM BUT THEY COULDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. RATHER, THEY HAVE SUGGESTED AS IF IT WAS TO BE DISREGARD. FEW DAYS AGO, I PULLED MY CAR FROM THE PARKING LOT AND AGAIN, AS USUAL, I HEARD THAT "THUMP". BUT THIS TIME, THERE WAS A SMALL METALLIC PART FLEW OUT OF THE CAR. SO I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND FOUND OUT DRIVER SIDE FRONT FRAME WAS CRACKED !!!! THE CRACK RAN ALL THE WAY TO GEARBOX. AND OF COURSE, IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE FRAME COSTS FORTUNE, FOR IT WILL BE STRUCTURAL REBUILD. (THE ESTIMATE, SUM OF $6,000 OR UP, WAS MADE BY FORD DEALERSHIP). SO I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'M SO PERPLEXED ABOUT THE FACT THAT DESPITE I HAVE MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE WELL OVER THE YEARS, THE VEHICLE IS PRACTICALLY A JUNK. TO ME, IT'S CAUSED BY MANUFACTURER'S DEFECTIVE PART, FOR THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN COLLISION. NEVER. AND AS YOU WELL KNOW, CLUBWAGON ISN'T A CARGO VAN, IT'S RATHER LUXURIOUS PASSENGER VAN. I'VE NEVER OVERLOADED THE VEHICLE WITH STUFF NOR PUT 20 PEOPLE IN IT. THEREFORE FRAME WASN'T DAMAGED DUE TO MISUSE NOR EXCEEDING ITS CAPABLE LIMIT, I BELIEVE. I'VE ONLY SEEN OR HEARD OF INCIDENTS OF BROKEN FRAME OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENT, NOT JUST PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT. I'M POSITIVELY CONVINCED THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS TO BLAME, AND AS I SUBMIT THE COMPLAINT, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TI.

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED CAUSING VIBRATION.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THESE VANS ARE HAVING TROUBLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH SOMETIME WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND I WOULD HAVE TO WORK THE KEY AND ALSO TURN THE STEEING WHEEL BACK AND FOR TO GET THE KEY OUT. I TOOK IT TO A AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH CYLINDER THEY SAID. ONE WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING THE VAN AND WHEN I TURNED THE WHEELS TO THE LEFT SOME TIME I WOULD HAVE TO USE FORCE TO GET THE WHEELS BACK TO THE RIGHT. THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT TURN THEM WHILE GOING TO BACK UP AND ALSO I COULD NOT GET THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF DRIVE. AGAIN THEY SAID THE CABLE TO THE TRANSMISION HAD BROKEN AND WAS REPLACED. MY QUESTION WHAT HAS TO BE DISASSEMBLED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH CYLINDER AND IF THE STEERING WHEEL HAS TO BE PULLED TO DO SO AND IF DURING REASSEMBLING THAT THE ROD THAT LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE IGNITION IS IN PLACE WAS DISTURBED AND HAS TO BE LINED UP. AND IF NOT PROPERLY ALINED WOULD THIS EFFECT THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION. I AM VERY CURIOUS DO KNOW. IF YOU COULD WOULD YOU PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH A ANSWER. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE MILES
