Backed into pine tree in driveway. Shattered plastic bumper cover. Can not replace bumper cover because ford says obsolete. Also no after market bumper can be found for this model. This bumper protects no one. *js ford won't even give me the ford part number. Its a cargo van. Other model covers can be bought from after market sellers but not the cargo van. Only place to get one is junk yards if you are get lucky. Most of their covers are busted also. A car is a hazard without a bumper.

They say "where there's smoke there's fire" so that's why I checked the fire button on the form. Just to the right of the accelerator the carpet started smoking. We still don't know the cause. But, everytime we run the car an awful smell results. We no longer drive long distances. It's our only car but I we'll have to take it to the garage soon. With holiday bills this couldn't have come at a worse time.
