| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Merging into traffic on freeway, car lost power, it didn't stall immediately because i had brakes for awhile to get off the road and stop. there was no warning, the drive-train just lost power. further inspection showed that fuel was being injected. i could turn the key, it would fire and die. had i been in the middle of the freeway, there likely could've been an accident. i called ford, they knew about the specific problem and said "sorry, we haven't been ordered to repair that yet." apparently, there has been a number of these problems, because the dealerships even knew exactly what i was talking about, they said i'd have to pay about $250.00 for them to fix the defect. another person i know has had to repair his three times already. this is a dangerous problem that ford knows about, a serious accident waiting to happen. it is very costly to tow and have the problem repaired. ford said that they know that a judge in ca ordered them to fix and pay for the problem, ford said they didn't have to do what a state judge ordered of them, only what a federal judge or the nhtsa. please help us on this.*ak |
