Fuel system, gasolineNov 19, 2003
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, CONTAMINATION OF THE FILTER IN THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE (FDM) CAN REDUCE, AND EVENTUALLY BLOCK, THE FLOW OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE.
THIS MAY CAUSE ENGINE HESITATION, LOSS OF POWER, SURGING, AND OTHER SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. OVER TIME, THE FILTER MAY BECOME SUFFICIENTLY BLOCKED TO CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
THIS ACTION IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN AND IS NOT BEING CONDUCTED UNDER THE SAFETY ACT. ALL OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FDM WITH A NEW DESIGN AT NO CHARGE IF THE OWNER REPORTS THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS ANY OF THE IDENTIFIED SYMPTOMS. THE FREE REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS FOLLOWING THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, WITH NO MILEAGE LIMIT. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2003.

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 2000-2001 FORD FOCUS PASSENGER VEHICLES, ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIOM, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, AND WISCONSIN. IN HIGH CORROSION AREAS, WHERE SALT IS USED ON ROADWAYS IN THE WINTER, THE REAR WHEEL BEARING SEAL RACE CAN EXPERIENCE SURFACE CORROSION. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE WHEEL BEARING SEALS COULD BECOME DAMAGED AND ALLOW CONTAMINATION TO ENTER THE WHEEL BEARINGS.
THE WHEEL BEARINGS COULD PREMATURELY WEAR AND CAUSE A NOTICEABLE NOISE. IF NOT REPAIRED, THIS CONDITION COULD PROGRESS TO THE POINT WHERE THE WHEEL BEGINS TO WOBBLE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. ADDITIONAL BEARING SEALS WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO ENSURE A SMOOTH RIDE. THIS PROGRAM WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2002, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. EVEN IF THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN SERVICED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 00S31, FORD HAS TAKEN ADDITIONAL STEPS TO KEEP THE WHEEL BEARINGS IN TOP SHAPE.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND LIGHT AND MEDIUM DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. A SWITCH LOCATED IN THE PLASTIC COVER OF THE WIPER MOTOR GEAR CASE COULD MALFUNCTION AND OVERHEAT, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF INTERMITTENT WIPER FUNCTION, LOSS OF WIPER PARK FUNCTION, COMPLETE LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION, OR IGNITION OF THE PLASTIC COVER MATERIAL. SWITCH MALFUNCTION IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE INTERMITTENT SETTING OF THE WIPERS IS BEING USED, OR WHEN SNOW OR ICE OBSTRUCTS THE BLADES FROM RETURNING TO THE "PARKED" POSITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT AT THE FOLLOWING ASSEMBLY PLANTS: ATLANTA PLANT FROM 2/11/00 THROUGH 7/31/00; CHICAGO PLANT FROM 2/14/00 THROUGH 8/4/00; KANSAS CITY PLANT FROM 2/26/00 TO 9/4/00; KENTUCKY TRUCK PLANT FROM 2/18/00 TO 8/31/00; MICHIGAN TRUCK PLANT FROM 2/23/00 THROUGH 8/3/00; NORFOLK PLANT FROM 2/21/00 THROUGH 7/27/00; WAYNE STAMPING AND ASSEMBLY PLANT FROM 2/25/00 THROUGH 8/15/00; AND WIXOM PLANT FROM 2/15/00 THROUGH 8/8/00.
LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DATE CODE ON THE WIPER MOTOR. MOTORS BUILT WITH THE SUSPECT TIME FRAME WILL HAVE THE WIPER MOTOR GEAR CASE COVER REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 20, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT FORD AT 1-866-436-7332.

GAS MILEAGE IS POOR ON THIS SIZE VEH--MOTOR KICKS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM/CANNOT DUPLICATE, 4 INCIDENTS, THIS IS VERY FREIGHTING. ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC & CANNOT GET OFF THE ROAD FAST. BRAKES WEAR BETWEEN 16000 AND 18000 MILES WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THE MOTOR BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 22000 MILES. THIS NEVER HAPPENED SO SOON WITH ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. REPAIRS AND SERVICES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, MANY SAFETY RECALLS AND PRODUCT WARNINGS THAT TAKE TIME TO REPAIR. THE DEALER HAS A PROBLEM MAKING SURE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND SOUND LIKE THEY MAY BE GOING BAD AGAIN! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT IF SOMETHING FAILS WHILE MYSELF OR MY FAMILY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS DEPRECIATED AT SUCH A DRASTIC RATE, THAT I WOULD BE WISE TO TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 12,000 MILES, AND WHILE THIS FORM ASKS FOR A FAILURE DATE, IT DOES IT SO MUCH IT IS HARD TO SAY, I PUT AN APPROXIMATE DATE OF THE WORST OCCURRENCE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I REALIZE THERE IS ALREADY AN INVESTIGATION ABOUT THIS, I JUST WANTED TO ADD ANOTHER TESTIMONY. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS LESS THAN HALF FULL, AND THE CAR TAKES RIGHT-TURNS, ESPECIALLY LONG, SWEEPING TURNS, SUCH AS HIGHWAY ENTRANCE/EXIT RAMPS, THE CAR WILL JERK AND LURCH VIOLENTLY, REFUSING TO ACCELERATE, AND WILL STALL IF PROVOKED ENOUGH. IF I BACK OFF THE GAS, IT RECOVERS, BUT TWICE IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED OUT, REFUSING TO TURN BACK ON FOR A FEW HOURS, ONE OF THESE TIMES WAS IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, I COASTED AT ABOUT 25MPH SINCE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THEN IT EVENTUALLY DIED. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, MY DEALER FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS (WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR, KIND OF STUPID OF THEM), AND THEN DROVE IT AROUND, BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHOW THEM HOW TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I MUST NOW KEEP MY GAS TANK MORE THAN HALF FULL, BECAUSE OF THE DANGERS IN GETTING ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT EVEN DOES IT AROUND TOWN NOW, AT TIMES. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A RESULT OF A FUEL FILTER GETTING CLOGGED AND THEY WOULD JUST CLEAN IT OUT, BUT OTHER FOCUS OWNERS I ASSOCIATE WITH (WWW.FOCALJET.COM) HAVE REPORTED THAT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. OTHERWISE, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR, AND I APPLAUD FORD FOR THE RECALLS, THEY MAY MAKE OUR CAR LOOK BAD BUT IT SHOWS FORD IS ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILTY FOR DEFECTS, AND TRYING TO IMPROVE ON THEM. *AK

AS A FINAL GESTURE OF GOODWILL, OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE OFFERED US A 24 HOUR PERIOD TO CONSIDER A $2,000 TRADE-IN CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF A NEW FORD VEHICLE AT 0% FINANCING. THIS WOULD HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED MY DAUGHTER'S MONTHLY CAR AND INSURANCE PAYMENTS. BECAUSE HER JOB WAS NOT YET A PERMANENT POSITION, SHE WAS NOT IN A POSITION TO TAKE A $4,000 LOSS AND DOUBLE HER MONTHLY PAYMENTS. ONCE THAT OFFER HAD EXPIRED WE WERE MET WITH STONY INDIFFERENCE BY OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. AFTER SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM WE CAME AWAY CONVINCED THAT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICIES ARE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED WITH SEVERAL GOALS IN MIND: 1) TO OFFER ONE'S LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS THE ONLY PATH OF RECOURSE OTHER THAN A NATION-WIDE 1 (800) CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE; 2) TO STAUNCHLY REFUSE TO PROVIDE THE NAMES AND MAILING ADDRESSES OF FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND/OR REGIONAL LEVEL; AND 3) TO DISCOURAGE MAILINGS TO THE NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE (MICHAEL JORDAN) OR CEO (WILLIAM CLAY FORD) WITH COMMENTS SUCH AS "DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, THEY DON'T EVEN OPEN THEIR MAIL." THE END RESULT IS THAT THE CAR OWNER FEELS TOTALLY POWERLESS ONCE THE GOODWILL OF THEIR DEALERSHIP'S IN-HOUSE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAS RUN OUT. WHEN COMBINED WITH HOLDING OPEN A 24-HOUR TRADE-IN OFFER TOWARD A MORE EXPENSIVE FORD VEHICLE, THE END RESULT WAS A PSYCHOLOGICALLY OPPRESSIVE HARD-SELL TACTIC.NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS: WHEN MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS, OR DRIVING AROUND EXTENDED RIGHT HAND CURVES (LIKE FREEWAY ON- AND OFF-RAMPS [AKA CLOVERLEAFS]), THE CAR NEARLY STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE TURN. WHEN CONSUMER STEPS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO STOP RUNNING. WHEN CONSUMER LETS OFF THE PEDAL, THE ENGINE RUNS AGAIN AND ONCE THE CAR HAS ROLLED IN A STRAIGHT LINE FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, (50-100 FT.), CONSUMER IS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS PROBLEM BEGINS TO SHOW UP WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THE FUEL TANK IS LESS THAN FULL. AT THAT POINT, THE STALLING PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AFTER MAKING A HARD TURN. THE STALLING PROBLEM IS EASIER TO REPLICATE AS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL INDICATED BY THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS BELOW 3/8 OF A TANK. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED WHEN MAKING ANY LEFT HAND TURNS. REAR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS UP UNTIL ABOUT 38,000 MILES, THESE PROBLEMS WERE INTERMITTENT, AND WERENOT EVIDENT MOST OF THE TIME. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT A DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE (OR EVEN REPRODUCE) THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY, THE PROBLEMS BEGAN TO REOCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY, UNTIL NOW, THEY ARE PRESENT VIRTUALLY ALL THE TIME. THE PROBLEMS OCCUR TOGETHER. IF ONE PART OF THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, THE OTHER PARTS ARE FUNCTIONING AS WELL. THE PROBLEMS ARE, THE RIGHT TURN SIGNALS FLASH QUICKLY. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNALS FLASH QUICKLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IF THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON WITHOUT THE BRAKES (AS IN APPROACHING A TURN OR SIGNALING A LANE CHANGE), THE TURN SIGNAL FLASHES NORMALLY. THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS NEVER AFFECTED. THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK. THE LIGHT ON THE SWITCH ILLUMINATES WHEN PRESSED ON BUT THE WINDOW DOES NOT CLEAR SO THERE SEEMS TO BE NO POWER GOING TO THE WIRES OF THE DEFROSTER. TAILLIGHTS AND BACK-UP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE.

THEY DID NOT WANT TO GET ME OUT OF THE CAR AND THEN I CALL THE OWNER OF ADAMSON FORD HE DID NOT CALL ME BACK AT ALL THE ONLY THING I COULD TRY TO DO IS FILE LEMON LAW BUT IT WILL TAKE SO LONG FOR IT TO TAKE ACTION I DROP THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE TAKING OFF THE MARKET AND PEOPLE SHOULD GET THERE MONEY BACK. BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT HIT TWO TIME BY 18 WHEELER WITH MY BABY GIRL IN THE BACK IN A CAR SEAT THEY DON'T GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THAT AT ALL. THIS CAR IS HAVING PROBLEMS RIGHT AS I TYPE YOU THIS LETTER. I AM VERY UP SET ON THIS CAR I HAVE 12 MONTHS LEFT AND THEY STILL WILL HAVE PROBLEM WHEN I FINISH WITH IT. I HAVE MANY MORE PROBLEMS BUT I AM AT WORK AND IT WILL HAVE TO TYPE THEM LATER TODAY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT IS TO LATE AND SOMEONE WILL GET KILL INJURED REALLY BAD. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
