A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was involved in an automobile accident. I rear ended a vehicle at a stop light. My airbag (drivers) did not deploy. There was front end damage to the vehicle. And I suffered severe whiplash and chest bone pain.
Vehicle had ongoing severe vibration in steering wheel and glove box to the point it shakes bolts loose in mud flaps, severe clunking in reverse do to engine not being secured in vehicle due to failed motor and transmission mounts after replacment still shakes but not as severe still look in side mirrors and vision obstructed to do shaking mirror.
I have a 2001 ford zx2. I had the transmission replaced on it in march 1, 2002 and now it is gone again it is now 4/12/2004. My car will not go in reverse. Before that it constantly shakes until the car turned off when I was stopped for too long.
Blower motor in car quit working. The blower motor which is located under the passenger side dash had short circuited causing the wire to melt and this seems to be a fire hazard.
