| 2007 | TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS | I AM A VICTIM OF THE CHINESE VALVE STEM ISSUE WITH FORD VEHICLES. FORTUNATELY, I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED WHEN THE TIRE WENT DOWN. I PUT ON THE SPARE AND DROVE HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED. I PUT IN A NEW STEM, AND WENT TO INFLATE THE TIRE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALL, SO THE TIRE WAS NO GOOD. TODAY I LOOKED AT THE REST OF THE WHEELS, AND INSPECTED THE REMAINING STEMS, ALL WERE CRACKED. THE CAR IS A 2007, AND WAS PLACED IN SERVICE ON MARCH 2007 IN SYRACUSE, NY, AND HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT, WITH THE ORIGINAL TIRES. I DO MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. *TR |
| 2007 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I WON A 2007 MERCURY MILAN WITH A 3.0L DOHC MOTOR. I WAS TURNING ONTO THE ROAD I LIVE ON, STARTED TO ACCELERATE, AND IT STARTED SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON ONLY A FEW CYLINDERS. WE HAD THE COMPUTER SCANNED, AND REPLACED THE TWO COILS THAT IT CLAIMED WERE THE ISSUE. DROVE IT DOWN THE ROAD, AND IT STILL DID THE SAME THING. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICIAN, WHO TOLD US THAT ONE OF THE COILS WE DIDN'T REPLACE (WHICH NEVER SHOWED UP AS BAD) MELTED SO BADLY, AND SHORTED OUT THE PCM. HE REPLACED A FEW MORE COILS, THE PCM, HAD THE COMPUTER FLASHED/REPROGRAMMED. I'VE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS SAME MOTOR, AND I'M WONDERING WHY FORD/MERCURY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR |
