| Passenger seat hits console when moved forward, when applying brakes-the steering and car shakes badly, both side electric windows binds when going up or down,shifter handle broke off causing to hold piece in when shifting to drive-park-etc., both engine head gaskets blew at the same time along with a coolant tube, rocker arm lock nut was bad causing loud noises in engine, speedometer needle sticks on 0. i bought it at suburban ford in elgin, but moved to elk grove and took my car to larry roesch ford for the repairs. my car still needs to be brought in for brakes, engine runs rough and hesitates at a low speed, the seat is still broken, shifter also still broken, windows still bind, the brakes and engine is what worries me the most. after all the times i brought it in, they still haven't fixed anything. in fact, the last time i brought it in, some bolts were missing from the engine. any further questions, please contact me. thank you. *ak | |||
