| 2010 | ENGINE | THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE CAR WOULD JERK AND THEN WOULD LOOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD BE IN IDLE MODE AND I WOULD HAVE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I TRY TO START IT AGAIN. THE SECOND IS INCIDENT WAS BASICALLY THE SAME ONLY AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THE THIRD I WAS IN TOWN GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR JERKED AGAIN AND WENT INTO IDLE MODE. THE NEXT FEW TIME THAT IT HAPPENED I HAD A VERY HARD TIME GETTING IT STARTED AND MOVING AGAIN. ONCE I DID GET IT STARTED I WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO GO A COUPLE OF BLOCKS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD JERK AND GO INTO IDLE MODE. I WAS LUCKY TO GET IT TO THE FORD DEALER WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE IT TOWED. *TR |
| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IN JULY OF 2010. IN JULY OF 2010, I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE CALIPERS AS THE REAR PADS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE SEVERELY WORN AND THE PADS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WERE FINE. DEALER INDICATED THE CALIPERS WERE FINE, BUT HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR THE UNEVEN WEAR. I ALSO CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY DID NOT HAVE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE PADS WOULD WEAR SO UNEVENLY. BACK BRAKES BEGAN PULSATING AGAIN AT 44,000 (ONLY 20,000 ON PADS). I AGAIN REPLACED THE PADS AND ROTORS AS THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY WORN AND DRIVER'S SIDE WAS LESS THAN Ѕ WORN. DROVE 15 MILES AND BRAKES ON PASSENGER SIDE WERE SMOKING. TOWED CAR ON A FLATBED TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID PASSENGER SIDE CALIPER WASN'T WORKING.THE ROTOR WAS WARPED FROM THE HEAT, THE BRAND NEW PADS WERE SCORCHED AND THE MECHANIC ADVISED IT WAS A GOOD THING THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE GARAGE AS IT WAS A GOOD CHANCE THE AREA WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. HE REPLACED THE CALIPERS ON BOTH SIDES, THE BRAKE PADS AND TURNED THE ROTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE PADS AND ROTORS ONLY HAD 15 MILES ON THEM. THE VEHICLE IS ON IT'S 3RD (4TH IF YOU COUNT THE PADS WITH 15 MILES ON THEM) SET OF PADS AND ROTORS AND THE SECOND SET OF CALIPERS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH 46,000 MILES. *TR |
