• 12/09/1998· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE LENS COVERS FOR THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES (BOTH SIDES) HAVE DETERIOTED TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE NO LONGER GETING ENOUGH LIGHT AT NIGHT TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE MATERIAL THE LENS WAS MADE OFF, AND THE INABILTY TO KEEP THE INSIDE OF THE LENS CLEAN. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE LENS COVERS ARE $75 EACH. IF THIS WAS A TRADITION SEALED BEAM LIGHT, THE COST TO REPLACE WOULD BE $10. THE DETERIATION IS ALSO VERY SUTTLE. YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE LUMENS THE LIGHT ARE PROVIDING IS BEING REDUCED BECAUSE OF THE SUTTLE CHANGE IN THE LENS COVER OVERTIME. THE LENS COVER CHANGES SO THAT IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THE HALOGEN BULB PROVIDES TO LIGHTING THE ROAD. I NOTICED THIS CHANGE WHEN I WENT FROM DIRVING THE 92 CROWN VICTORIA TO MY NEW DODGE DACODA ON SOME BACK ROADS ON VERY DARK NIGHTS. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE LENS COVERS NEED TO ADDRESS TO ASSURE THAT THEY WILL NOT DETERIORATE OVER TIME AND CAUSE THIS VISIBITY PROBLEM, FORD SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE TO INSURE THE PLASTIC FOR THESE LENS ARE AS GOOD AS THE GLASS WAS FOR THE SEALED BEAM LIGHTS. I KNOW THE DOT ALLOWED THE CAR MANUFACTURER THE ABILITY NOT TO USE THE SEALED BEAM TO PROVIDE THE BENEFIT OF THE HALOGEN BULBS BRIGHTNESS, LESS ENERGY USED PER LUMIN, AND TO ALLOW A MORE GAS EFFENTS DESIGNS. THEY SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PRODUCT THAT WOULD LAST AS LONG AS THE GLASS ON THE SEAL BEAMS. PLEASE CALL ME AT MY WORK PHONE TO PROVIDE ME SOME FEEDBACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK-YOU PAUL D'ANDRIES 706-647-7131.

• 11/09/2001· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AT APPROX. 70 MPH WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE THE SPEED BY PUMPING THE BRAKES ALTHOUGH EACH TIME I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VAN CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER APPROX. 15 MINUTES AND A VERY FEARFUL RIDE, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND BRING THE VAN TO A STOP IN A LARGE PARKING LOT. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DO SO BY APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND PRAYING THAT THEY WOULD NOT FAIL. I QUICKLY TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND PUT THE VAN IN PARK. I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO SHAMROCK FORD IN DUBLIN, CA. EVEN THOUGH I WAS PAST THE 5 YR. EXTENDED WARANTEE, WITH THE LOW MILEAGE I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTING THIS BE REPLACED BY FORD AT NO COST TO ME. I CONSIDERED THIS FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

  I DROVE MY 1992 FORD E-350 15 PASSENGER VAN TO INDIANA ON FRIDAY. I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. I ARRIVED AT 5:00 PM. AND PARKED. AT ABOUT 1 A.M. I MOVED THE VEHICLE TO A FLATTER AREA, SO I COULD SLEEP IN IT AT THE CAMPGROUND. SHORTLY BEFORE 4 A.M. I AWOKE TO A SMELL AND SAW FLAMES SHOOTING OVER THE WINDSHIELD, COMING FROM THE ENGINE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH BURNED COMPLETELY IN MINUTES. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED. I CONTACTED FORD AND I AM NOW WAITING FOR A WRITTEN RESPONSE.

• 10/16/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  I WAS TRAVELING HOME TO CAMDEN, TN FROM WEST FRANKFORT, IL WITH MY CHILDREN ON HWY 69. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. WHEN ENTERING A LOWER SPEED ZONE, I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTER ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD INCREASE IN SPEED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN HIGH. I KNEW THERE WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN I WAS GOING UPHILL AND THE VEHICLE WAS INCREASING IN SPEED RELATIVELY QUICKLY. I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PRESS. I KNEW WE WERE IN TROUBLE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I HAD JUST REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKES THE WEEK BEFORE, SO I KNEW THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SHOULDER IN FRONT OF A BP GAS STATION IN MURRAY, KY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED ABOUT ONE MINUTE AND STARTED IT AGAIN, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING HIGH, AS THOUGH THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK. A FRIEND CAME TO HELP ME AND WE MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE RUNNING AGAIN AND I TRAVELED HOME THE NEXT DAY. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON 10/14/2011. I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK WITH A CO-WORKER AND I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO CRUISE (FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE SEPTEMBER INCIDENT). SUDDENLY, UPON TRYING TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE VEHICLE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD TO PRESS, THE ENGINE RAN HIGH, AND THE SPEED BEGAN TO INCREASE. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING AS BEFORE, SO I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED FOR A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER (NO GOOD SHOULDERS ON A WINDY COUNTRY ROAD), PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WAS RUNNING HIGH STILL. I TURNED IT OFF, SHOOK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL VIGOROUSLY AND THE VEHICLE RAN LIKE NORMAL. I HAVE NOT USED THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE AND HAVE REMAINED WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

  ALMOST IMMEADIATELY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WHILE DRIVING IN WARM CLIMATES. THE FORD DEALER HAD NO SOLUTION AND ON ONE TRIP TO LAS VEGAS (GAUDIN FORD OF VEGAS) REPLACED THE MAIN COMPURTER AT A COST OF OVER $600 SO WE COULD GET BACK TO LOS ANGELES. NOW I SEE IN THE HEADLINES OF THE PAPER A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR VEHICLES DOING THE EXACT SAME THING WE EXPERIENNCING. WHEN I CALLED FORDS CONSUMER LINE THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME AND NOT TO BOTHER CALLING THEM! THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AS IT STOPS RUNNING WITH OUT WARNING LEAVING NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES AND LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AS WE ARE UNABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE AS IS AND WE REFUSE TO PASS THIS PROBLEM ON TO ANOTHER PERSON AS FORD HAS ALREADY DONE TO US AND OTHERS BY SELLING THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND NOT OFFERING SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS THEIR HAPHAZARD WORKMANSHIP HAS CREATED.*AK

• 10/06/2017· TIRES

  PURCHASED A 9000 LB. MOTORHOME EQUIPPED WITH NEW "AUTOGUARD" LT 225-75R16 TIRES INSTALLED IN 2016. WHILE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE IN IDAHO,NOTICED A ROUGH RIDE, ATTRIBUTED TO TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE PAVING THE HIGHWAY REQUIRING FREQUENT STOPS. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR FUEL AND DISCOVERED AN OUTSIDE DUAL WORN THRU THE STEEL BELTS ON ONE AREA OF THE TIRE. THE TIRE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT TWO ADDITIONAL REAR TIRES WERE WORN IN A SIMILAR MANNER, ONE WORN 360 DEGREES BUT ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE TIRE THE OTHER SIDE STILL HAD TREAD {VISIBLE IN THE PHOTOS}THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE NOT ABNORMALLY WORN - INTACT. THESE TIRES HAD BEEN CHECKED FOR CONDITION THAT MORNINGS DEPARTURE. THESE TIRES WERE THREE YEARS OLD AS VERIFIED BY THE TIRE DEALER REPLACING THEM, HIS DIAGNOSIS WAS TREAD SEPARATION. ALL SIX TIRES WERE REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THIS NEAR DISASTER. THE ESTIMATED MILES DRIVEN ON THESE TIRES IS 2186, THE REPLACEMENT TIRES NOW HAVE 1664 MILES ON THEM AND ARE VISIBLY NEW. OBVIOUSLY, A 50% FAILURE RATE{3 OUT OF 6 TIRES} WITH SO LITTLE USE INDICATES THAT THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY. ONLY TIMING AND LUCK PREVENTED A PERHAPS FATAL ACCIDENT IN THIS CASE. I AM COMPELLED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AND EXPECT ACTION ON YOUR PART. OBVIOUSLY, SINCE THE MANUFACTURER, BEIJING CAPITAL TIRE COMPANY., IS HEADQUARTERED IN CHINA I HAVE NO WAY TO OBTAIN COMPENSATION OR REDRESS FOR MY EXPERIENCE, HOW MANY OTHERS ARE GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO AN EVEN WORSE SITUATION? I WILL STAY INFORMED, EXPECTING THE WORST.
