20120206FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING LOSE TO ALL POWER SYSTEMS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER CONTROL MODULE IS THE CAUSE OF THIS. THEY FURTHER STATED IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL OR SOME THING FOR THE NORTHERN STATES. ALSO REPLACED WAS THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR(P0191 CODE). STILL NO RESOLVE TO ISSUE. *TR

TWICE NOW, MANUFACTURER INSTALLED SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE. BOTH FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE CYLINDER HEAD. *TR

20111102POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM LOCAL FORD DEALER 10 MONTHS PRIOR (75,000 MILES), AND WAS A DEALER MAINTAINED VEHICLE. I DROVE VEHICLE 3,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND SEVERE VIBRATION MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT COULD NOT MOVE VEHICLE > 1 MPH WITHOUT SEVERE VIBRATION. PROBLEM WAS FROM COMPLETE FAILURE OF DRIVE SHAFT CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS INDICATIONS OF IMPENDING FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED AND COMPLETE. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT VEHICLE CONTROLLABILITY SHOULD A BEARING FAILURE OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IN ADDITION THE BEARING IS LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FUEL TANK. SHATTERED BEARING PARTS COULD POTENTIALLY PENETRATE THE FUEL TANK. THE BEARING IS A NON-SERVICEABLE PART AND THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT MUST BE PURCHASED AT A COST OF $1,000, MAKING BEARING CHANGE PRIOR TO FAILURE HIGHLY UNLIKELY. *TR

20100928VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS BROKEN FROM THE TRACK ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE THIS COULD POSE DANGEROUSLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, WINDOW COULD BE BECOME AN PROJECTILE AND DISLODGE WHERE NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO EXIT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
