Gentlemen my problem is two fold, first I am really disappointed that the NHTSA is not provding all the information on all the complaints, recalls, and safety investigations that it use to. Now I am hoping that a rep will either write me or call me and tell me this is the way its always been. This is b. S. . . . . Mr NHTSA why isnt there a archive where we can go back 3 months, 6,12 or more. Why have you romoved this option???? it use to be there!!! now for my complaint I have a Ford Focus, 2004 and the axle just broke, 34000 miles and its at the dealer ship hopefully getting fixed, now there was no forwarning, no snap, pop, bang or anything, I backed out of a parking space and put it in drive, it moved about six feet and stopped. Now if this would have been in the middle of an intersection or trying to move out of the way of on coming traffic it could have been a bad thing, fortunatly I was in a parking lot. When I reviewed yuour entries on this matter you only have one. Give me break I want to see the history. I have been wrench pulling for a few years and there I no way in hell your going to convince me this all you have. Hell even the dealerships say its nothing out of the ordinary. Its under warrenty but the fact still ramians this should be a safety issue at the very least. Waiting to hear from you mr NHTSA.
