The contact complained about an ongoing problems with the emission system.

After the vehicle was serviced the same emission problems recurred. The check engine light came on and fumes entered the vehicle.

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT with a v-6 sohc 4 liter engine. The car has not properly accelerated since purchase in 2000, it has constantly stalled while driving and the dealer could not determine the problem because the check engine light was not on. I found out February 16, 2005 that I have a broken intake manifold gasket and it cost over $1,000 to fix. I have searched the internet related to this problem and found there are eight Ford models manufactured from 1996 through 2001 with this problem. Ford refuses to acknowledge this defect to consumers but according to the article inthe attached link, they have extended their warranty on this part to the police department and taxi companies that have purchased the affected cars.

The Ford motor company has refused to accept any financial responsibility and did nothing more than receive my complaint.

I was driving down the road and when going down a hill the veh. Stared to make a grinding noise. I had to get up out of the hole to pull off and I noted that when I steped back on the gas it stoped. It only does this when coasting or braking. I took it to the shop and they said it was a failure in the transfer case. I started looking for a new one on the net and found alot of other people describing the same problem to a t. One guy stated that his mechanic said that the gem control module had failed or partially failed and commanded the tranfer case to disengage causing damage to the case. It appeared to be a Ford electronic defect not having a fail safe mode but instead ordering the tranfer case to self destruct. The oxygen senors I replace them and they go right back out.
