| Ford (hq and dealer) have been repeatedly contacted on these issues. ford's internal review board issued aruling stating that no compensatory action is appropriate. ford issued an offer to have a district representative oversee a representative within fourteen days of their ruling, which i did not receive until the offer had expired. i have taken the vehicle to another ford garage with similar denial of anything wrong being wrong with the vehicle. their is obviously something wrong with the brakes - they squeal almost continuously. also, the engine / transmission power loss, vibrations, and intermittent hesitations have increased since my ownership of the vehicle. i am interested to see if other consumers have experienced similar problems and how these problems have been rectified. the issue with the bar in the seat developed within six months, i have simply dealt with it, until now as i have read on your site that other consumers have had this same problem. i request that i be contacted for informational purposes only, at this time, by the nhtsa, as i do not wish to deal with ford or the indicated dealer(s) any longer. also, the pa. atty general's office - consumer affairs, was contacted with no action other than documentation of the incident.at. no safety defec tlisted in summary. *ak | |||
