Steering knuckle broke while driving car - was recalled by Ford in 2000 for this very thing. Ford is saying the vehicle was repaired by the first owner but I don't think it ever was. Ford dealer used by me for repair said the other one was about to break too. Repaired both of them. I could easily have been killed. Had just pulled off the interstate. Probably would be dead if this had happened 5 minutes earlier.
I purchased this vehicle from a dealer ship in iowa 30 days ago and it has been in the shop ever since with the same problem as I have read here.
Power windows drop down intrmittently. Dealer has replaced regulator for all 4 windows. Did not remedy the problem. Consumer states dealer will not replace until relay switch(s) have failed. In a separate occasion, the front end of the vehicle vibrates when driving beteen 58-75 mph. Getting worst at higher speed. Tires were balanced, but vibration still exist.
Under torque condition of front suspension.
