What owners report
When I go to the lake boating, I always remove my battery from the engine compartment and take it with me as a backup in case my boat battery should fail. on September 26, 2022, when leaving the lake, I reinstalled the battery bas I always do and closed the hood. It appeared closed when the hood surface aligned with the side panel. After leaving the boat ramp I turned onto FM 2272 and was accelerating to the posted speed limit of 55. At 40 mph, all of a sudden, the hood flew up into the windshield shattering it from one side of the vehicle to the other. My view of the road was completely obstructed as I was covered in pieces of broken glass. Fortunately, I was able to see the white lane
WE PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM GASCAR AUTO IN MIAMI, FLORIDA ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2019. WE DROVE IT BACK TO MINNESOTA. IT TOOK US 4 MONTHS AND OVER 30 PHONE CALLS TO GET THEM TO SEND US THE TITLE-WHICH THEY WROTE DATE OF SALE AS 4/19/2020. WE JUST RAN THE VEHICLES VIN, (THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALSO RAN A CARFAX, BUT NOT DISCLOSED TO US AN ACCIDENT OR THE DISCREPANCY IN MILEAGE) AND DISCOVERED THE ODOMETER HAD BEEN ROLLED BACK TO READ 100,000 LESS MILES THAN WE WERE TOLD WE WERE PURCHASING IT WITH. WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE WERE BUYING WHAT WE WERE TOLD WE WERE BUYING ON THE ODOMETER DISCLOSURE FORM, NOT A VEHICLE WITH 100K MORE MILES. HAD WE KNOWN THAT, AND HAD WE KNOWN THE COMPANY WOULD FALSIFY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD E250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER SWITCH MELTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT OWNS A FLEET OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME FAILURE.
I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THESE TIRES ARE SUBJECT TO A RECALL (RECALL # 13T-012) AND MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO A SAFETY HAZARD. YET THESE TIRES ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH MICHELIN, AND NOONE AROUND HERE (SANTA ROSA, CA) HAS ANY, NOR DO THEY HAVE ANY OF THE OTHER TWO SERIES THAT MICHELIN OFFERS AS A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT (LTXA/T2 OR XPS RIB). AND THERE ARE VERY FEW ALTERNATES THAT ANYONE CAN OFFER ME. AS I SEE IT, I AM DRIVING ON TIRES THAT MICHELIN SAYS ARE UNSAFE, YET THEY HAVE NO SIMPLE SOLUTION TO REPLACE THEM WITH ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR TIRES THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE ME SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME THAN I ALREADY HAVE TO BASICALLY DO THEIR JOB. WE BUY MICHELIN FOR THEIR NAME
I OWN I FORD FREESTYLE, I AM CURRENTLY REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY FOR THE SECOND TIME. IT TOOK A MECHANIC MUCH TRIAL AND ERROR TO FIND THE PROBLEM, WHICH COST ME A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. THE CAR STARTED ACTING THE SAME WAY YESTERDAY! THIS HAS BEEN THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR! I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS CAR BACK TO FORD! IF THERE IS ANYTHING...ANY KIND OF RECOURSE PLEASE GIVE ME INFORMATION. THANK YOU.... *TR
