| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Follow up to an earlier report regarding a 2002 ford escape xlt with ignition coil problems. on may 30, the vehicle lost another ignition coil (3 previously had died) after sitting overnight in a rainstorm. this problem seems to manifest itself when it has been raining or very humid. the truck was taken to macquire ford and was again diagnosed with a failed number 1 ignition coil. the coil was replaced at a cost of $390. the truck was picked up friday, june 2, driven home and parked. when we went to drive the truck at 6pm that night, the check engine light came on and the truck ran rough. the dealer wasn't happy to see us back saturday morning. this time coil number 3 had gone. no one knows why 5 coils have now failed at the cost of $1300. the final original coil has also been replaced. no one at ford can give an answer and i am out a considerable amount of money and i somehow doubt this problem will be resolved. *nm |
