| 2010 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | INITIAL INCIDENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE PROBABLY EARLIER. THE 15-20 STALLS EXPERIENCED HAVE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SLOWLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FOUR TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM NEVER MANIFESTED ITSELF DURING THOSE VISITS. I FINALLY CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WHEN I HAD THREE STALLS IN ONE DAY IN MID APRIL. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE#CAS-2461287 HAS COMPLETE DETAILS. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAD THE DEALER INSTALL A UNIT WHICH HAD A BUTTON TO BE PRESSED DURING EACH INCIDENT. I PRESSED THE BUTTON THREE TIMED (MAX ALLOWED). ONE INCIDENT WAS A DEFINITE STALL, THE OTHER TWO, WERE WEAK. THE DEALER RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AND THAT ONE PRESS WAS DONE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK (NOT TRUE) WHICH I TOLD THE DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION OTHER THAT AN X-PLAN DEAL ON A NEW CAR, WHEN I TOLD THEM I WANTED TO SELL THE CAR AND WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT. TODAY, I BECAME AWARE THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD SO I WILL NOT USE THE X-PLAN. WHILE MY STALLING PROBLEM WITH ECO-BOOST IS NOT AS SERIOUS AS SOME, I HAVE READ ABOUT. IT REMAINS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE AR IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH 31,000 AND SEVEN MONTHS OF 48 REMAINING. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT COMPONENT IS FAILING. ..UPDATED 07-05-13 *BF |
| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT, IN BRIGHT DAYLIGHT AT 4:05 PM. THE LINCOLN MKT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON AN ERRAND TO A SHOPPING MALL. THE DRIVER MADE A LEFT TURN, AND STOPPED FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. ON PROCEEDING TO MAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN INTO THE SAME PARKING SPOT, THE VEHICLE TRAVELING SLOWLY, THERE WAS A BUMP/OR JERK AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THIS IS THE POINT OF THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, IN SPITE OF THE DRIVER USING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OVER THE SIDEWALK AND CONTINUED INTO THE WALL OF A CVS DRUG STORE. THE WALL STALLED THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER PUT THE VEHICLE INTO "PARK," HIT THE STOP/IGNITION BUTTON AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED, THE POLICE OFFICER DID NOT FILE AN ACCIDENT REPORT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES ONLY PROPERTY DAMAGE. HE INTERVIEWED THE DRIVER AND OBSERVED THE CAR STUCK IN THE WALL OF THE CVS STORE. HE WAS PRESENT FOR THE EXCHANGE OF INSURANCE AND DRIVERS' INFORMATION. THE FIRE DEPT ENSURE SAFETY OF THE BUILDING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THEIR DEALERS MECHANIC DID NOT FIND A COMPUTER RECORD OF AN "ERROR MESSAGE." IN HIND-SIGHT THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS LOW SPEED BUMP FOLLOWED BY A SURGE IN ACCELERATION BUT THIS OCCURRED AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP SIGN, THE DRIVER DID NOT ATTRIBUTED THIS AS MECHANICAL BECAUSE THE CAR WAS MOVING. IN THE 12/18/12 ACCIDENT THE DRIVER WAS TRYING TO STOP THE FORWARD PROGRESS AND THE LINCOLN MKT WOULD NOT RESPOND. *TR ..UPDATED 01/30/13 *BF THE CONSUMER WAS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, BUT NOT THE OWNER. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED AND THE COMPUTER DID NOT RECORD AN ERROR. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC CHECKED THE THROTTLE, ETC AND THERE WAS NO SIGN THAT A MECHANICAL PROBLEM EXISTED. THE CONSUMER DOES NOT WANT TO PURSUE THE COMPLAINT. 01/31/13 |
