skip to NHTSA complaints

ENGINE: It ran fine broke the timing belt, took to our local Ford dealer. There they first said it was the water pump,we changed that and the serpintine belt. After Ford put all back together they took it for a test run. Ford said they went 3 miles and the car died and had to tow it back to the shop. The first thing Ford said was it has to be a head gasket or a cracked head and that is the real reason the belt broke. They never put it on a pressure check or an engine check so how did they know it was a cracked gasked or head. Now when i asked Ford if the second belt broke they said know then i said well then the first belt broke due to mileage on the car not the head gasket or head they then said yea yea that’s right. Well witch one is the true answer i will never know. Now i believe Ford NEVER put enough coolant in the engine before they test drove and got the head to hot and that is what caused the crack in the head. The mistery is still not solved. We thought hey ok lets go to the auto salvage and get a head there. The sales man at the auto salvage said all the cars with 1.9 engines in the were running when they were in their wreck so the engine would be good. Well guess again. My husband went through about 4 cars with this 1.9 engine and yes you guess it they all had cracked heads. So if i have learned anything from my experience with Ford this engine is a LEMON. Now what do i do.
SEAT BELT: the electronic sealt belts that move up and down when you close the door is stuck and it won’t work any more. it is stuck in the release postion. the left is stuck and the right side hardly moves.
PAINT: the paint color is green and it is peeling off. The black around the windows is chipped so bad you can see the silver metal where the paint was. If i take it to the car wash the paint comes off so i have to wash it by hand.
ELECTRICAL: The headlights for high beams don’t won’t i have to hold the handle toward me to beable to use the high beams or if i push the handle the way you are supose toward the front of the car i have no headlights
YES i feel this car is a very poor made car. I don’t think there is much i can do now Ford has been very ugly toward us and says they don’t want us for a customer any more. Yes the owner Rex McArthor said it to our face. He said we cause to much problems and told us to get out off his lot.
Well that is all i have at this time hopefully you understand what the heck i said if not you can email me back
thanks
