The vehicle ran perfectly prior to this malfunction and there was no warning that a problem may exist. A mechanic determined that the Power Control Module (PCM) was corrupted and required reprogramming. I purchased a refurbished PCM and had it programmed by a locksmith to my VIN. The faulty PCM is still in my possession and available for inspection. This is a very dangerous condition that could have resulted in a crash. Fortunately, this malfunction occurred on a Saturday morning with light traffic during daylight hours.

UPON ENTERING GA 400 NORTHBOUND FROM US 285 WEST IN ATLANTA, I STRUCK AN OBJECT IN THE ROADWAY RESULTING IN A DELAYED BLOWOUT APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS LATER ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO PULL HARD TO THE LEFT. I CROSSED 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC, STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR IN THE THIRD LANE AND THEN CONTINUING ACROSS TWO OTHER LANES AND STRIKING THE CENTER CONCRETE DIVIDER WALL HEAD ON. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY ON IMPACT. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AT THE TIME. I SUSTAINED MULTIPLE RIB FRACTURES, INTERNAL INJURIES RESULTING IN BLEEDING, AND FACIAL LACERATIONS.

UNABLE TO DO STANDARD MAINTENANCE BY REPLACING 100,000 SPARK PLUGS EARLY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER, THEY ADVISED ME $1000 IF THEY DID NOT BREAK ANY PLUGS. AFTER REFUSING THE REPAIR AND PAYING $150 FOR DIAGNOSIS I MAGICALLY HAVE A BROKEN PLUG. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ESCALATED TO A RECALL IT IS OBVIOUS THAT FORD HAS A PROBLEM THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS. THIS MINOR REPAIR WILL NOW BE OVER $1500. SHOULD WE BUY IMPORTED VEHICLES, THAT YOU CAN PUT PLUGS IN FOR $100? *TR

OUR 2007 LINCOLN MARK LT HAS HAD THREE ABS FAILURES WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE TRUCK. DEALER SAYS CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IN PAST TWO BRAKE FAILURES. THIRD FAILURE CAUSED ACCIDENT AND DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. FORD IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. WE KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER ABS FAILURES IN THE FORD PRODUCT LINE. THE FORD FACTORY SHOULD STEP UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO. THE DEALER WE GOT IT FROM WILL ONLY GET US INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IF WE SPEND A LOT OF ADDITIONAL MONEY. THAT IS NOT RIGHT EITHER. WE NEED HELP. *TR
