Ford Recall 10/10/06

Looks like there was another recall yesterday for Ford on the 500 series, Escape Hybrid, and Freestar.

DETROIT, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co.<F.N> is recalling over 145,000 vehicles in the United States for a range of problems from defective latches to faulty drivetrains, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall involves 139,537 2005 model-year Five Hundred and Montego sedans and 2005-2006 model-year Freestar minivans because the side door latches may let in water, NHTSA said on its Web site on Tuesday.

This may cause the latch mechanism to freeze in cold weather and the door could open while the vehicle is moving, the agency said.

Separately, Ford is also recalling 6,164 Escape hybrid sport utility vehicles from 2006 model year because a drivetrain shaft may fracture.

If a fracture occurred, it could cause the vehicle to move, even in the park position, NHTSA said.

Ford dealers will inspect the drivetrain shaft and replace it if necessary.

Actually earlier this year my wife and I was looking at a 500 or a Fusion for her. I think perhaps we will still get one next year.
 
ROFL at mental images of Fords in park on a hill suddenly starting rolling down and the doors opening on their own.
