The Equipment problem

Electronic throttle should be a recall vs a customer care item. This is bs and Ford knows that it should be. I haven't had my car 3 yrs yet, purchased pre owned and it just hit 10 yrs and is 186,000 miles and needed to be under 150,000 for them to fix.   Read details...

The Electrical Jack problem

When lowering the original car�s manual scissor jack it gave out half way down causing the vehicle to drop onto my driveway suddenly. The threading on the power screw seem fine but the pin that it feeds through on the other end looks mangled (see pictures).   Read details...

The Carrier/rack problem

Opened lift gate to remove package from trunk area, hinge broke and the lift gate fell on my husband's head. He was struck with the hitch/locking mechanism. Wondering if these lift gates issues (including those recalled for 2002 & 2003 models) have any correlation to the lift gate panels   Read details...
