I'm not sure why it's ok to sell vehicles with engines that can't even make it for 10 years. Thanks Ford! Never again will I buy one!

1999 FORD EXPLORER SPORT RECALL PART CAMCHAIN TENSIOR

I have never had a MAJOR problem with this car until FORD replaced a RECALL PART call the CAMCHAIN TENSIOR.

I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER WELL KNOWN COMPANY. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO FORD. BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL PART AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

GUEST WHAT, I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO PURCHASE A NEW MOTOR FOR $4,400.00

OF COURSE I FLIPPED OUT. I SAID I TOOK CARE OF THIS CAR LIKE IT WAS MY CHILD, IT ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON THE MOTOR.

THEN I SAID," WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO ME IN SO MANY WORDS.. THAT FORD IS SELLING CARS WITH MOTORS THAT GO ONLY TO 50,000 MILES."

FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICE WAS A JOKE. I GOT NOWHERE.

IF YOU HEAR A RATTLING , CLANKING NOISE, TAKE YOUR CAR IN A.S.A.P. BEFORE YOUR CHEAP 12 MONTH RECALL WARRANTY RUNS OUT.
