1994 Ford Tempo

THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO WORK. THIS OCCURRED AFTER BRINGING CAR IN FOR EGR VALVE/EVP SENSOR. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T CAUSE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY TURNED OFF THE HEAT. THE HEATER WAS REMOVED AND THE WIRE CONNECTORS IN CONTROL HEAD ARE MELTED. REPAIR PERSONJOHN W ROMACK SAID IT WOUL D COST ~278.00 FOR NEW. CHECKED OUT JUNK YARD FOR ANOTHER HEATER. WHILE LOOKING I FOUND 4 OTHER HEATERS WITH THE SAME DAMAGE. I BOUGHT A USED ONE IN 1998, IT STOPPED WORKING 10/9/2000. WHEN COMPONENT WAS REMOVED THE SAME DAMAGE WAS FOUND. A MELTED HEATER CONTROL. (THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIRING PROBLEM.)

THIS CAR STALLS WHEN OVER HEATED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC,THE TEMP.GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW THAT IT IS HOT ,BUT THE CAR JUST STALLS AND WILL NOT START FOR ABOUT 30-45 MIN.I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON PARTS AND NOTHING IS WORKING.I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND BEING STRANDED IN 106 DEGREE WEATHER IS NOT GOOD FOR ME .I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAYS BY BEING STALLED IN A LANE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR,ONCE IT STALLS IT WILL NOT BUDGE UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN .PLEASE HELP I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING PARTS ON THIS CAR AND MY HEALYH IS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS. THAN YOU.

OWNED VEHICLE FOR FIVE MONTHS, WITH NO WARNING AT ALL VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE STARTING FROM THE FRONT WHEN ATTEMPTED TO SETTLE MATTER WITH FORD AND RIVER OAKS FORD NO ONE WOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS MY OWN PERSONAL BELONGINGS THAT WERE DESTROYED. BECAUSE OF EMPLOYMENT TRAVEL DISTANCE WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE VEHICLE WHOLESALE FOR SUBSTITUTION COLLATERAL ON PREVIOUS LOAN. MONEY TO PURCHASE 2ND VEHICLE WAS BORROWED FROM FAMILY MEMBER TOTALING $543.75. SPOKE WITH SALESMEN AT RIVER OAKS FORD WHO PROMISED THE FOLLOWING YEAR WOULD GRANT A GREAT DEAL ON VERY RELIABLE VEHICLE. WAITED OVER A YEAR AND A HALF WAS FORCED TO CONTINUE PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO USE DUE TO ERROR ON WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE. I AM STILL EXPECTED TO PAY FOR VEHICLE WHICH WAS SCRAPPED AND IS PROBABLY SOME ONES HUB CAP. FURTHUR MORE THEY WANT $3000.00 CASH MORE FOR ME TO GET INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE PLUS REMAINING BALANCE ON THE LOAN FOR THE TEMPO THAT BECAME TOAST DUE TO THEIR NEGLAGANCE IN NOT NOTIFYING ME OR PREVIOUS OWNER IF INFACT THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE OR PROBLEM. I ALSO FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNFAIR THAT IF I DONT PAY ON THE LOAN BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT THEY WONT HESITATE TO RUIN MY GOOD CREDIT.I UNDERSTAND MISTAKES HAPPEN ANDI HAVE BEEN VERY PAITENT ON SEEKING LEGAL COUNCIL HOW EVER I AM GETTING NO COOPERATION FROM FORD TO EVEN COME TO A HAPPY MEDIUM. IN CLOSING I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER SO THAT I MAY CLEAR THE ORIGINAL DEBT AND BE COMPENSATED FOR MY LOSS.*AK
