No heat; temp guage problems. Called ford and they said they would not cover. We were never notified of recall. Car bought from an individual not a dealer. So maybe that is why we never received a recall. Apparently this problem is a common one.*ak (tiresize: 15)( dot number: tire size: 15 )

In 1995, windows on front left and right doors stuck when rolling down. Fixed incorrectly the first time, under warranty, so fixed again, under warranty. No charge that I recall but can verify if required. Last year, left front window stuck again. Struggle to roll it down caused swerving. Attendant noticed it during test drive after tune-up but made no recommendations. Right front window okay but not used because no passengers. In addition, though car seldom driven, water pump already required replacing in 1998. Charged $50 deductible under extended warranty. Front window fixed the third time not covered under extended warranty. Charge was $365.72 to replace run and regulator. I argued with the manager because already fixed twice by them but no record of first 2 fixes. These problems are disappointing because I bought another new ford wagon after driving a country squire for 21 years. It only had 80,000 miles or so on it when I donated it to a charity but guess they "just don't make 'em like they used to"! Will appreciate any advice or assistance you provide. Hope I didn't get a "lemon". Could be lucky that I don't drive much because possibly more problems. We need to trust the safety and stability of our automobiles.

On impact rear windshield shattered into1-3cm size very sharp high velocity fragments which covered entire passenger compartment (front and back) including base of rear-facing infant seat (seat was removed at a time). This report is to underline the danger for the infants in rear-facing infant seats in the event of rear-end colision since windshield in station wagon will fail in nearly all crashes of this type. It should be redesigned to prevent fragmentation and/or reaching passenger compartment. Photos of the damage available upon request.
