| I believe ineffective repairs are being done and only the symptoms are being treated. i have two failed oil pumps, three failed water pumps, a failed alternator...and three attempts to fix various oil leaks....all within the last year. the exhaust bolts that were put on in may, 2003 weren't even on in august, a cover that goes under the radiator flew off on the highway...i am now wondering what else...in addition...there needs to be a cause to the constantly failing water pumps. the battery, alternator, ac, etc. failures are minor in comparison. | |||

| Shortly after purchase brakes failed pedal went to floor on several occasions but were told by dealer there was nothing wrong was common for abs brake pedal to go to floor when sitting at traffic light however they did play with pedal until it came up several trips to dealer never resolved problem yet when the vehicle was at dealer and complained about brakes , transmission,steering,outside right mirror and seat belt in mid right seat dealer found nothing wrong with anything but mirror which they replaced however two hours later another dealer said seat belt was defective and would order one a second dealer shortly thereafter replaced loose linkage in steering, and rebuilt transmission which had burnt overdrive and defective parts in lower range still no-one could find brake prblem until crash when deputy sheriff tested brake pedal 8 times putting pedal to floor ford motor co says the deputy was not qualified to perform such a test and will not accept the fact that there is and has been a problem that is intermittent brake failure apparently associated with the abs as the mechanics stated the first time the vehicle was in with the complaint | |||
