skip to NHTSA complaints

We are the only owners of our 1999 Mercury Sable; it is very well maintained and has low mileage of Approximately 59,000. From July 20, 2004 to July 20, 2005, we have had our Sable four times to the C&C Ford Dealership for the same brake problem. Since our Sable was never diagnosed properly, it led to a costly brake repair, and other repairs.This has also become a concerning and continuing safety issue for us, and our two small children. therefore, we are looking for peace of mind from the Ford Motor Company or the C&C Ford Dealership. Also, We want a full reimbursemnt, in the amount of $1,349.00.Complete Service Report From 7/20/04 to 7/20/051. Our 1st problem occurred on July 20, 2004. We brought our Sable in because the Brakes were making a clunking noise and sticking when the brakes were applied. A. The Service report states,\"Visual inspection good. Road Tested. Unable to duplicate concern at this time.\" The cost $29.95. Mileage in 47,6512. Our second brake problem occurred on August 25, 2004, for the same complaint of a clunking noise and sticking when the brakes were applied. A. The service report states, \"Was road tested checked brakes. Brakes ck good for wear. Caliper pins sticking lube pins and scuff pads re test ok.\" The cost was $0. Mileage in,48,6963. Our brakes were checked again on 8/31/05 for a state inspection. A. The service report states, \" Brakes lining wear checked. Brakes wearing ok at this time.\"4. The Third brake occurred on June 22, 2005. The brakes again were making a clunking sound and were sticking when the brakes were applied. That time the ABS light came on. The Service Manager, Mark Brunner, informed us that the ABS Module needed to be replaced, and it was a, \"Very uncommon,\" repair. A. the service report states, \"Verified. No Communication with ABS Module tech replaced ABS Module. Cleared coldes and roadtested all ok at this time.\" cost $1,134.23. Mileage in 58,82.5. On July 6, 2005, the engine light came on, and the Service Manager, Mark Brunner, told us that the PCV valve needed to be replaced, and that was another, \"Very uncommon,\" repair. My huband asked what else needed may need repair before he left. He was told that the DPFE Sensor would need to be replaced in the near future. The cost $371.00 A. The service report states, \"Cust states hissing under hood and idles rough verified. Found vacuum line is off upper intake line is oil soaked replaced PCV Valve repaired vacuum line checked. Ok at this time.\" Mileage in, 59,184.We felt that the ABS Module was a manufacturing defect, and the PCV valve and the DPFE Sensor were broken during the ABS Module repair. So I spoke with the General, John Burk, regarding our concerns for both, \"Very uncommon,\" repairs, as well as, the DPFE Sensor, and reimbursement for all repairs. He reimbursed uf half ($185.00) for the PCV Valve and DPFE Sensor, but nothing for the ABS Module.Spoke with Regional Manager, Kim Marucci. She did nothing because of the cars age.6. the fourth brake problem occurred on 7/20/05. The brakes again were making aclunking noise again and sticking when the brakes were applied. When the car ws picked up that same day, I asked the Service Manager, Mark Brunner, what was done to my car? and where is my servie report?, Mark Brunner told me he did not talk with the mechanic yet, and my report will be mailed the next day. I called every day for 3 days for that report. It was mailed on the 3rd day, and I did not receive it until 5th day. That Broke a law! A. The service report states, \"Customer advised to replace the front brakes and resurface the rotors.\" mileage in, 59,650. the cost was $0.On August 9th, 2005, the front brakes and the rotors were cut by an independent mechanic per my request during inspection. Brakes would have passed inspection!On July 6,7,8,9,25, 2005 and August 8, 2005, I have placed verbal complaint with The Ford Motor Company. Nothing happened.

Dear Sir/ Madame,My car recently stall while driving. My husband came to my rescue, he check the battery, oil etc to see where the problem was coming fom, however the oil and battery was fine. We towed the car over to Stone Mountain Ford where we originaly bought it. The told us the engine needs to be replace.We had purchase a extended service warranty at the time of sale. The service representive call me saying that the deny the claim due to lack of maintainance, I had fax over copies of all my oil changes receipts (7). We have been using Jiffy Lube for yaers and never had a problem with their service. As for Stone Mountain Ford after purchasing the car back in December 2000 we had a bad experience with them fulfilling their sales agreements, so we were reluntant in using them again.I strongly belive that the service depart fail to look for cold spots on the surfaces where the oil circulates. The engine seize because of the temperature on the surface. I pull an artilce from a website regarding Sludge buildup causes engine to seize. The mention that Temperatures are critical, for large variance in internal engine temperatures can cause sludge. listed below us the artilTemperatures are critical Bruce Crawley, a lubrication specialist for ExxonMobil Corp., said the first thing he would look for in investigating a sludge problem would be "cold spots" on surfaces where the oil circulates, because large variances in internal engine temperatures can cause sludge. "You don\’t want any cold spots because that\’s where you get acid forming," he said. "You\’ll get oil coming up one way and acid coming down the other way, and ultimately they contact. On some engines you can actually see where that is happening because you\’ll see deposits in a particular part of the engine where there is a cold spot." Hanson of Toyota said the changes the company began making last month to the V-6 will make the engine better able to withstand long periods between oil changes. He repeated Toyota\’s contention that there is no problem with the engine\’s design. "Under the cam cover is a baffle system," he said. "It allows oil to collect and condense and drip down into the cylinder head. Dirty vapor collects there and clogs up. "We are going to change the baffling and enlarge the holes. That makes the oil drain faster and enhances the engine\’s ability to function under duress." But Larry Parry, an independent repair technician in Orlando, Fla., and host of a radio auto-repair talk show, says Toyota\’s change to the oil baffles won\’t stop the sludge from building up. "There\’s nothing on top of the engine restricting the drain at all in that motor," he said. The internal temperatures are the problem, contends Parry. Parry said he has measured the temperature of the cylinder block and heads. He said the block runs at 190 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit, while the heads typically reach 260 to 270 degrees. Parry, who says he has repaired about 30 sludge-filled Toyota engines since 1998, contends the V-6\’s cylinder head temperature is too high because Toyota reduced the size of coolant passages in the head gaskets. He says that makes for a hotter, cleaner burn, but also causes sludge to build up because the oil gets too hot. Also, Parry says, sludge develops as the oil passes back into the block, which is running 60 to 70 degrees cooler. According to General Motors, the industry standard for temperature differences between the cylinder head and engine block is between 10 and 15 degrees. Hanson said cooling passages were not made smaller and there are no 60-degree temperature variances inside the engine. Toyota: Oil monitor possible Hanson said Toyota is considering a system similar to one used by General Motors on 2002 vehicles that warns drivers with a dashboard light when it is time to change their oil. The GM system uses a computer program to estimate when oil is worn out, based on engine usage patterns. The system costs less than $10 per vehicle. Meanwhile, Toyota dealers said last week they are not being overrun by customers with sludge-damaged engines. "There\’s been talk about (paying for repairs caused by oil gelling) over the past few years," said Ken Joswiak, general manager of La Fontaine Toyota in Dearborn, Mich. "Obviously it was big enough for this to turn into what it has here. But it\’s not like we\’re seeing a stampede of customers at our door wanting their cars fixed." Joswiak said his dealership, which sells about 60 Toyotas per month, has fixed four or five vehicles under the February policy adjustment. c Staff Reporter Joe Kohn contributed to this report
