This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Original locking hubs were replaced in July of 1997. They were locking themselves in four wheel drive with no input from driver to do so. Mileage on vehicle was 42,508. Mileage is now 67,000, and these hubs are now doing the same thing. Cost estimate to fix problem is around $600. I think Ford should pick up the tab for this repair.
Automatic hub, both front drive hub assemblies, which engages the 4-wheel drive is defective. It fails to operate and damages other components in 4-wheel drive. Vehicle inoperable. Dealer replaced hubs two times. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
Intermittently, the automatic locking hubs self engages either partially or fully, and when making a left or right turn the front end engages completely. The dealer has not been able to rectify problem.
