skip to NHTSA complaints

Problem: The car was diagnosed with a leaking head gasket & defective manifold. Cost to repair $2504.80 (I paid it)I brought the car in on 11/17/03 and got it back 11/20/03. I was told the repair was complete. As I drove it off the lot the car shimmied and stalled. The car was brought right back and they still are working on it as of 11/21/03 9am.History of problem at Ford: Ford has issued the following Technical Service Bulletins for these two problems ( from www.alldata.com )03-6-2 Mar 03 Engine – Oil leak from R/H Cylinder Head Gasket02-1-4 Jan 02 Engine Head Gasket – Approved Replacement Procedures 01-21-10 Oct 01 Engine – Oil Leaking from Head Gasket02-2-2 Intake Manifold – Cross-Over Channel Coolant SeepageAccording to www.lemonaidcars.com (www.gm-v6lemons.com/mediaattn.htm)The Ford 4.7 liter has had these problems before and caused Ford to extend warranties to 6 yrs./ 75,000 miles on older models ( www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=121&scid=59 ). They also know the manifold part used to original make the engine is defective. My Actions : I contacted the Kings Lincoln Mercury dealer service department and asked for repair assistance stating the problem seems to be a continuation of an existing problem, they declined. I called Ford Mercury corporation at 800-587-4140 and they said they can not help but to hold on to the receipt in case there is a recall. I asked for a Dispute Settlement Board Arbitration Package and the dealer said I was not eiligible because the warranty is run out. The Ohio lemon laws do not cover the vehicle. Should I write AG Honorable Betty Montgomery, National Highway Transportation Safety Authority (NHTSA). P.S. To top it all off I discovered the car\’s gas tank could explode during a rear end crash just like the similar model police cruisers. So far it caused 30 burn deaths in 70 fatal fire crashes. The dealer refused to fix it for free and I am trying to just deal with the present problem. In case here is the advisory. https://www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=498&scid=96 Thank you for the information on the Ford P05 money. I had an interesting conversation with the service manager at the dealer. He requested assistance from the regional Ford representative. I was turn down by both for AWA money. The service manger told me some interesting determinants of who gets and who doesn\’t get AWA money. The dealership check our repair record to see if we are a good customer. He look at all services they perform even as small as an oil change. The dealer\’s computer is limited, he can not see \"pay for\" services done at other dealerships, he can see warranty work done at other dealerships. Because I did not have many repairs done, or oil changes I was told I was not a good customer worth spending AWA money on. They are going to save it for good customers. My tough luck. $2,500 dollars later and Ford will never see me in any of their show-rooms again. I have also written Henry Clay Ford and the Attorney General For Ohio.Hello, Honda.

5 Investigations for 1999 MERCURY Grand Marquis

On september 6, 2005, odi received a petition requesting that the agency investigate allegations of engine spark plug ejection in certain model year 1997 through 2004 ford vehicles with triton v-8 and v-10 engines.odi received a total of 474 non-duplicative complaints on the subject vehicles where the complainant, or the dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine.as of december 8, 2005, odi is not aware of any allegations where the alleged defect resulted in a loss of vehicle control, a crash, an injury, or a fatality in any of the 10,319,810 subject vehicles.in addition, odi is aware of only two incidents where the vehicle stalled without restart.information contained in the odi consumer complaints and obtained from 72 telephone interviews with complainants showed the following:(1) 99% of the complaints were on my 1997 to 2002 subject vehicles.(2) most the complainants reported hearing a loud pop while driving or upon starting up the vehicle followed by a loud, repetitive clicking or popping sound.(3) many of the complainants reported that the popping sound was accompanied by some loss of vehicle power; however, in 99% of the incidents reported, the vehicle did not stall.in the very few incidents where the vehicle did stall, most vehicles could be restarted.(4) only a small percentage of the complainants cited that they smelled gas or a slight burning smell when the incident occurred.(5) in all but a very few incidents, vehicle damage was limited to the engine.in one incident, the complaint reported that the fuel rail was damaged and replaced after one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine; however, the complainant reported that the damage did not result in any type of fuel leak or fire.in another incident, the only incident where a fire was alleged, the complainant reported that no fluid leak was observed, but that a fire resulted after the spark plug had ejected from the engine and he had restarted the vehicle and driven to another location.none of the complainants reported any damage to the vehicle hood.(6) only two complainants reported that they observed what appeared to be some drops of fuel coming from the cylinder where the spark plug had failed or on the spark plug itself; however, each of these complainants reported that there was no smoke or flames as a result of his incident.as the petitioner noted, and odi¿s analysis showed, it is possible for a spark plug to detach from the engine cylinder threads in the subject vehicles.however, odi¿s analysis of 474 complaints describing such incidents found only a very few alleged any safety-related consequences.none of these showed any evidence of a serious safety consequence.given the large population and relatively long exposure time of the subject vehicles, the complaint analysis indicates that the risk to motor vehicle safety from the alleged defect is very low.in view of the foregoing, it is unlikely that nhtsa would issue an order for the notification and remedy of the alleged defect at the conclusion of the investigation requested in the petition.therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize nhtsa¿s limited resources to best accomplish the agency¿s safety mission, the petition is denied.
