JUST ANOTHER FAILURE FROM THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP. THIS VEHICLE FIRST WENT THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THIS WAS WHERE FORD PUT A STEEL LINKAGE ROD IN THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORTED BY A HOLE IN THE ALUMINUM FRAME, EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER DONE MACHINE WORK KNOWS THAT A BRONZE BUSHING IS NEEDED TO PREVENT THE STEEL ROD FROM WEARING OUT THE SOFT ALUMINUM. FORD DENIED HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS A REPAIR KIT SOLD BY FORD TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP (IT CONTAINED THE BUSHING NEEDED TO DUE THE REPAIR) $2500 REPAIR. I ALSO HAVE THE CRACK IN THE REAR EXTERIOR PANEL THAT IS ALSO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NOW I'M BLESSED WITH THE GAS TANK PROBLEM, TANK WILL NOT TAKE ON FUEL FROM THE PUMP, IT HAS TO BE TRICKLED IN OR IT OVERFLOWS. THIS CAUSES A 15 - 20 MINUTE FUEL FILL UP. FORD WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THESE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS MY LAST FORD EVER......
