    Axle Assembly · Interior/Under Dash · Multiple Axle

    The bushings failed ruining the back tires. The door locks have a mind of their own which could be dangerous in an accident and ford has been unable to diagnose the problem. The steering column was loose and they discovered broken parts in there. There is an undiagnosed problem with as scraping noise as i turned a corner into a parking lot. We are afraid to drive it, every time we do something else happens to it.

    Manual transmission makes clattering noise at idle speed. Transmission difficult to shift and grinds gears. When coming to a stop, engine sputters as if it is going to stall. Instrument lights flicker due to low alternator rpm. Idle then increases.*ak
