My alternator keep draining my new batteries from to much electrical pull and turns off all my digital dash and says my brake system is in failure and there is something wrong with the suspension in the front end even though I have had it fixed and the same problem has returned . I had my battery explode. The transmission jerks whenever it shifts and the transmission fluid is full and I maintain it on a regular basis. It is driven in town only. I am scared of it catching on fire now since I just saw that it is still has a recall that has not been repaired and I bought it used and I was told all recalls were taken care of. I have my grandchildren in this vehicle weekly. I want to see about getting this looked at and repaired correctly. I fear for my safety.

I bought the vehicle used and I was told that it ran fine and there were no issues with the automobile. And then it started having warning issue lights and then I started having problems with steering and holding in the road and it begain popping when I turn the vehicle to the left . And then the recall with the fuel tank I am scared of the vehicle and I do carry children in it. The used car lot I got it from will not do an inspection on it. So I would like to have it looked at and see if does need to be fixed as so i don't have a accident and see about getting the gas tank fixed. I don't drive it very fast at all and won't take it a long distance .to scares to go far in it

I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHILE TURNING RIGHT WHEN I HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR DIPPED MORE THAN IT SHOULD. THE RIGHT WHEEL (LOOKING OUT FROM THE VEHICLE) SEEMED TO "GIVE" WHEN IT TURNED. I TOOK IT INTO A BODY SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY 48K. I HAVE ONLY HIGHWAY MILES AND DO NOT DO ANY OFF-ROADING. THE CLUNKING NOISE AND "GIVE"OF THE RIGHT BALL JOINT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND A FLOATING SENSATION IS CAUSED, WHICH FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL TIP OVER WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS ON THE HIGHWAY AT MORE THAN 30 MPH. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IF THE PTO UNIT WENT OUT MY REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE IT IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WELL FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS TO SHIP PARTS OUT IN 2 WEEKS, WELL THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEN AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE HERE LAST WEEK AND THEY TOOK ME OFF BACK ORDER AND SAID MY PARTS WOULD BE HERE BY MONDAY JUNE 4TH. WELL GUESS WHAT MY PART DIDN'T MAKE IT. THE LIST OF BACK ORDERS ACCORDING TO [XXX] AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS 1700 AS OF YESTERDAY. SO HOW MANY ORDERS HAVE THEY ALREADY FILLED? THEY ONLY USED THIS TRANSMISSION IN 2 VEHICLES FOR EITHER 1 OR 2 YEARS. I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS. AT LEAST 3 TO 4 ALREADY. I KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME AND ALL THE 1700+ CONSUMERS.
