Vehicle is accelerating slowly. Took car to the dealer for a tune up, and was told exposed wiring from the transmission harness causes the slow acceleration.
At around 38000 miles, the starter gear split in half, causing starter failure. The component was inspected by both an independent mechanic and a ford service technician, and both agreed that the part failed because of a defect. After driving the vehicle about 2000 miles, apparently a piece of the broken starter entered the transmission housing and destroyed the clutch and ring gear, and punched a hole in the transmission housing. I believe this to be a safety issue because the technician told me that the problem was severe enough that it could have caused transmission or clutch parts to actually break off at road speed, possibly entering the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
Wiring harness shorted out.
Problem with fan motor LED to our taking vehicle into dealer. Their inspection revealed severe deterioration to wiring harness insulation which service manager said might lead to a fire hazard. Ford area rep contacted and offered $1,500 payment toward $2,500 bill. This all took place yesterday, june 10, 1999. I did not authorize any replacement to be done pending further conversation with ford and request that they replace defective wiring harness at no charge to me. Please also note that in june 1998, I completed and filed another vehicle owner's questionanaire, this time having to do with defective wiring relating to the ABS system. I received no response from that from dot or ford. This problem, having to do with defective weatherproof covering on the 22 pin electrical connector that controls ABS and traction control circuits and causes inadvertent braking. I believe these are problems that need the attention of your agency before injuries or fatalaties take place.
