I would appreciate being contacted by someone to discuss further. I have 9 other concerns, but my computer makes it difficult at times to complete certain sections. I would like to further discuss to see if in your professional opinion I have a valid case as far as a lemon car is concerned. No safety defect listed in summary.( DOT number: )
There is a NHTSA campaign id number 00v228001 for yr.2000. Does this seat belt-buckle recall also apply to the yr.1995? Please help. Thank you.
The paint is cracked on the hood, unknown what month, about 1997. We never had it fixed. Drivers door seatbelt stays in the running position, it won't move forward, but it makes a loud motor noise, unknown what month, since about 1999. We never had it fixed. The seat belt on the right next to the middle seat fell off. We told the dealer. They ordered one. We went back about a month later they said it was too late to fix it. The transmission went out in about may of 1998, at about 120,000 miles. We had it rebuilt.
Exhaust manifold studs broken. I found it when I wanted to replace the exhaust manifold gasket. In canada, they have worked aout a fix for the studs broking with ford why can't we this fixed for free.
