The vehicle is rated capable of pulling our two horse trailer, while coming down the driveway, rear air suspension system went flat driving the nose of the horse trailer into the road. Had this happened on the highway it would have been a major mess. Is this common?
Within the first month, I noticed that the steering is very unstable. We have taken in back to the dealership several times and yet they have not corrected the problem. They have adjusted the ride height twice, set the alignment, installed new steering gear, idler arm (did this twice), pitman arm, and chamber/caster kit along with other corrections. Just the other day, we were on the freeway and felt the vehicle losing control. In fact, when we took it for a test drive with one of the technician at the dealership, the vehicle jumped over two lanes. This vehicle is very dangerous and if you can please provide any further information.
During wet road condition truck hydroplanes. Consumer has no control . Consumer has contacted ford. Please provide any further information.
Since purchasing this vehicle in march 2000, we have had problems with rough idling, transmission not wanting to shift, front end clunking, rear end suspension and sudden acceleration. Extensive repairs have been done on this vehicle, including replacing the transmission, yet none of the above items have been repaired. It is extremely dangerous to be driving a vehicle when suddenly it will accelerate and drive on its own. The car can drive at 50 - 60 MPH for several miles without stepping on the accelerator. When stopped at a traffic light you have to listen to the engine, watch the RPM's and be ready to put the car into neutral and push forcefully on the brakes to keep the car from plowing into the car ahead. Last week I pulled into the bank parking lot and with no warning the car's RPM's jumped to 3,000 and I barely missed hitting two parked cars. In addition, the front end makes hard, loud grinding noises, when backing up the four wheel drive goes out and it feels like the car has two flat tires. It also does this sometime going forward and turning, so it is difficult to steer when it does this. From the day that this car was purchased it has idled like an old car that desperately needs a tune up. All these problems still exist after having the car be at the dealer for 39 days this year. Because this vehicle is not safe, I have notified chino hills ford, ford and the arbitration board that I want ford to repurchase my vehicle because it is not safe.
While pulling out of parking space at low speed consumer heard a noise from front end. Dealer has been contacted, and replaced different parts, however, problem returned few days later. Please provide further information.
