I replaced the alternator last summer and I had to replace it again this summer. I had to replace my tail lights twice the brakes is always giving me problems. The window on the drivers side doesnt roll down. When it rain the floors get wet. I have a hard time putting it into gear and taking it out of gear. It stalls to cut on and drives really rough.I had to replace the tires numerous times.the speedometer went out and the temperture gauge as well.the ac dosent work and it takes a while for the heat to warm up car.something need to be done about this.

My heater control knob for high, med, low only work in the low position. My rear brake light had a leak, allowing water to fill up and blow my light bulbs.there is a ticking noise in my dash as if my turn signals is running, but no flash on the indicators. When I signal to take turns it works fine but when not turning still makes clicking noise. Transmission went out in October 2000, I heard this is a common problem in my vehical.. thank you for your time.

I went to a dealership in glendora, ca and car was still on bumper to bumper warranty. They wanted me to pay a cost for them to look at the car. Therefore car wasn't fixed and now problem still persists. I will not pay for something that happened while under warranty. I can not remember the dealerships name but it was the biggest Ford dealership in glendora, ca. I have a witness who was with me when this occurred. No safety defect listed in the summary.

We have had a problem with this car since we bought it. First it was the driveshaft while we were traveling then it was the paint starting to crack, then it was the power steering going out when it was raining. Dealership had no idea what was wrong. Just found out when my husband took A/C switch out that it was burned. Called dealership when it first happenned even though we still had an extended warranty and wanted money out of us. We couldn't afford it. Please see if any of these are defects to where a dealer in West palm beach can correct the problem at no cost. Our warranty has expired at 60,000 miles. Car still vibrates and we have no A/C and it is hot here in Florida. We would also like to get the paint taken care of us they knew about it from the beginning when we bought the car. Along with the power steering going out. They said nothing was wrong. This was jim hayes Ford in harrisburg, il. We now live in Florida so if you can help us solve these problems it would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance. Jeanette prather please E-mail anything you have to jprath6@bellsouth.net.
