My van was running fine until the piece that goes on the transmission that makes it shift broke off after that broke I started having transmission problems when I took it to have it checked they told me the piece that broke was a recalled piece for this type of vehicle. So I know that the recalled piece is what caused my transmission to start messing up. Their saying it's going to cost me $9000 to replace the transmission.

The driver's side door of my vehicle will no longer latch. This problem appeared without any precipitating event, just ordinary use of the door. When I researched the problem online, I see that the Ford motor company has recalled vehicles of the same model and year with this problem. I consulted a Ford dealer about repair of the problem and they said that the recall did not apply to my car's VIN. They also told me that they had had a vehicle of the same model and year in their shop that very day with the same problem that was also not covered by the recall.

Headlights aim at ground approx 30-40 ft in front of vehicle. Can not see beyond that at night. Took back to dealer and they adjusted them so now I can see about 2-3 car lengths in front of me at any speed. Dealer said they were fine even the way they were. I have had 2 close call events, one involving a pedestrian, I want this to be on record for the time when it is not just a close call and I actually hit someone. L am also reporting this to my insurance company. The dealer is autofair of manchester, nh.

At 76k miles the transmission began slipping and missing shifts from both reverse and drive selections, either hot or cold. 1st and 2nd gear are where this issue is most acute. It occurs when accelerating from a stop and also when decelerating. Gator Ford stated transmission needed to be replaced at considerable cost. Also stated fluid was burnt and metal found in pan. All service with exception of last oil change was conducted at dealer since purchased new. At no time were we informed of any transmission fluid break down.

After owning this vehicle the horn quit, at 49865 miles. I checked the internet and found several other people who had this problem on a Ford vehicle similar to mine.
