The steering column and all the parts associated with the steering of the vehicle were affected when the bolts that hold the clamps that secure the bushings to the steering column began to loosen. I examined the area carefully and noticed that because the bolts loosened, the clamps were given too much play. Within a short while, a month or two, the entire steering column and the shifter were completely secured by one broken clamp that held its place because of the bushings and a loose bolt. The other clamp was also broken but was laying on the floor board. It wasn't an expensive fix. I customized a metal clamp for each of the two places the went. They are the same clamps the electricians use to secure cables and wires to the walls and ceilings. I used the ones made from bronze. They are more pliable to shape for an almost perfect fit. with a little grease above and below the bushings and also some where the now bronze clamps hold the bushings, I believe that the steering column IS as safe as can be. Also, the plastic that holds the cable that IS used to adjust the shift indicator needs to be made of a different material. I'll get to that soon.

This IS a complaint about ford's recall process. I recently received a safety recall notice regarding a fire hazard. I have not owned my 1995 explorer for at least five years. When I called the number listed in the recall notice I got a department at ford - the man said they contract out their recalls to a third party and that he could not help me, nor could he give me their number. He said the company gets owner information by using the dmv. If they had done that they would know I have not owned this vehicle in many years. this recall notice was about a fire hazard and obviously will not get to the person who may now own the vehicle, so it isn't a very effective recall. The third party company who IS doing this for ford IS not doing a very good job on something as critical as a safety recall. *tr

I was driving my car when it began to down shift around 35mph. Eventually, after adding more gas, it kicked into gear. My vehicle IS an automatic. Once it down shifts, the od light begins flashing on and off. It has now been doing this consistently. The drive IS not a smooth drive and when I am going approximately 50-60mph or more, the car begins to shake. *tr

I am wirting because there are several recalls on my vehicle howerver I was told that the recalls are vin specific. Meaning that even though my vehicle IS experianceing the same problems of cars that have been recalled of the same make model and model year the manufacture IS not required to correct the defect. I have a problem witth that because it places the public at risk. In my case I have a 1995 ford explorer. The vehicle has been recalled for problems with the tie rods, sway bar links, and brakes. All issues that are saftey related. I have talked with other owners with the same car that have the excat issues. Obviously the problem IS systemic and places the public at risk as this was one of the best selling models of that year. I am asking that you issue a recall all vehicles of this make and model for that year. This would alleviate the saftey risk casued by the defect. I believe that your office and the manufacture should take reasonable steps to adress the issue and act in the publics interest. Please contact me. *tr

Purchased vehicle from private seller. I asked the seller why the o/d light off was flashing on the dash. He said he had no experience with engines and he didn't know what it was for. The next day, I was checking all fluids and levels. Anyway, I look in the transmission filling area and noticed the level was waaayyy past full (above crossbar area); I see that there IS only milky-pink like substance in it. from all the research I have done already, I think the pink substance IS a mixture of transmission fluid and anti-freeze. I have not had a chance (or the money) to know exactly what IS wrong with it, but I do know that anti-freeze IS not supposed to be in the transmission fluid area(s). My guess IS that the problem was caused by an internal failure in the radiator cooling line. I believe that ford should recall these transmissions because they know it IS a major problem. Please, IS there anyone that has already started a class-action lawsuit on ford because of this matter? Knowing that they are selling (or sold) a defective product to hundreds of thousands of customers.this has to be a manufacturer issue! The consumer should not be responsible for this issue. *tt

This investigation revealed that console fires in the subject vehicles most often occurred while vehicles equipped with the lamp outage module (lom), which IS part of the message center, were towing a trailer and which had been modified by adding an aftermarket trailer wiring harness into the vehicle's taillight circuits.the owner's manual states never and more than other trailer light bulb to one circuit however trailers frequently contain several bulbs.the resulting excess current passing through the lom could cause it to overheat resulting in a fire.proper aftermarket installation of trailer wiring requires the use of a bypass module, which obtains power for the trailer lights directly from the battery rather than from the vehicle's tail light and stop lamp circuits, or the use of the manufacturer's wiring harness.in a letter dated september 2, 1997, ford notified odi that it intends to take action to preclude further incidents including issuing a technical service bulletin to its dealers, notifying trailer rental associations and agencies where known, and advising owners by letter of the proper method for connection of trailer tow wiring on the subject vehicles.there was no defect trend in the subject vehicles identified as a result of this investigation, and further expenditure of agency resources IS not warranted to continue the investigation.
