Excessive overheating. Dealer has replaced temperature gauge, and other parts, but still not accurate.

No summary listed for above vehicle. ( dot number: edpzb7ex tire size: 205/60p15 ).

Engine cooling- temperature runs on the high range of normal. Engine - two bolts fell out of water pump pulley causing unknown vibration which in turn caused failure of serpentine belt which caused belt to fray into engine which in turn dislodged timing belt and caused oil light to come on. Dealer not "user friendly" during repair process which drug out the repair for a week. Engine has not run in the same fashion since the incident even though two different dealers have addressed the problem. Engine now stalls during initial start up almost causing engine to die entirely which has almost been the cause of several accidents. Tires- uneven and unusual wear on rear tires causing tires to wear prematurely. Windshield- unusal amount of chips perhaps caused by design and shape of windshield. Ignition- when removing key ingintion stays stuck into the steering column causing buzzer to sound. Did I mention that we will never buy a Ford product again especially since we have only owned this car since December 1999. ( dot number: 23912 ur tire size: p205/60r15 ).

Water pump leaks prior recall notice (99b-23). Yh.

The water pump impeller was made of plastic and broke up into pieces causing $2000 in damage, because the resulting overheated engine warped the valve heads. The car need to have the head remilled and new multiple gaskets. The water pump impleller in my opinion should never had been made of plastic and was apparently defective.

Engine started making funny noises. Consumer stopped the car and popped open the hood and noticed that water tank was low. Consumer then filled tank back up with water. The next day steam was coming from the engine compartment. Took car to dealer and it is still there.

Transmission failure 2 years after car was purchased, engine replaced 2 years after purchase. Hub bearing assembly broke 1 year after purchase of car. Car drives extremely hot - to near over heating point. Trunk leaks when it rains. Driver side window malfunctioning. Instrument panel malfunctioned (was fixed before recall). Check engine light stays on constantly even after tune up/ major work done.

Water pump broke.
