Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Consistently complained about the engine light on since i bought the car. at 32,000 miles, they replaced the intake gaskets. engine light still came on, was told it was something minor. i complained numerous times about the engine light. they would reprogram the warning and within one day, it would come back on. now, with the new emissions standards, my car will not pass inspection. i was told the intake gasket has to be replaced. when i spoke to ford, they just say "we are sorry it is not under warranty". well, they should have fixed it properly from the beginning. *jb
