I HAVE A 2001 FORD EXCURSION LIMITED. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR BROKE DOWN. I TOWED IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID MY TIE RODS WERE WORN OUT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. $1075.00 IN PAYMENT. FORD STATED RODS WERE NOT A DEFECT BUT DRIED OUT. REPLACED RODS AND BALL JOINTS. COULD THIS BE TRUE. OTHER FORD OWNERS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEING A WEAR AND TEAR. I NEED HELP. PLEASE CALL ME 954 2962391.*AK

THE TV MOUNTED IN THE RAISED "SKY TOP" OF OUR ELK CONVERSION VAN, BROKE LOOSE AND FELL OUT OF ITS MOUNT . MY WIFE YELLED AS SHE SAW THE TV FALLING, AND I REACHED BACK OVER MY RIGHT SHOULDER TO CATCH THE TV BEFORE IT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND EXPLODED INTO THE PASSENGER AREA WITH MY WIFE AND CHILD. I FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HWY. WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT, SUSTAINING A SPRAINED SHOULDER AND SORE ELBOW. OTHER SKY TOPS ARE ALSO FAILING AT A HIGH RATE. THERE IS A NEW MOUNTING SYSTEM (FIX) BUT IT IS ONLY COVERED WITHIN THE FIRST 36,000 MI. TIME WILL CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE OLDER PLASTIC TV MOUNTS.*AK
