| Ordered vehicle in 1994, had it 2 days when a rattling started from underneath, was an untightened bolt. in summer/1995, a/c didn't work. in spring/1996, transmission was vibrating on inclines at 25 to 30 mph. in spring/summer 1997, transmission was causing tactometer to race to 3000rpm when only going 25 mph. in winter of 2000, vehicle overheated, replaced thermostat twice. after overheating 3 times, and finally having to be towed, it was the head gasket causing pressure to build within the cooling system forcing coolent out of the overflow reserve. mechanic saw this only happen in 3 other vehicles.*ak | |||

| Air conditioning system experienced total failure. mechanic said system is leaking from every conceivable place and replacement of the system was necessary for repair and the cost would be $2000. the mechanic recommended registering a complaint with ford because this type of problem is ridiculous in a 4 year old car. the system has not been replaced to date. | |||
