Consumer Description

MY 200 TAURUS OVERHEATED AGAIN, FOR THE 2NDS TIME IN 3 MONTHS I WAS STRANDED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD. I HAD JUST GOT MY CAR OUT OF THE SHOP AFTER PAYING 868.00 TO GET IT OUT FOR CRACKED HEADS AT SOUTHERN TIRE IN ERWIN,TN 1205 JACKSON LOCE HIGHWAY. ON 9/4/03 MY CAR JERKED AND THEN LOST POWER SLOWING DOWN CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY PULL OVER TOT HE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO THE CAR BEHIND ME DIDN'T HIT ME. MY NECK HAS BEEN HURTING SINCE THEN AND MY FAMILY OF 8 IS MISSING IT'S TRANSPORTATION. I SHOULD NOT HAVE COOLING PROBLEMS AGAIN THIS SOON AFTER GETTING IT REPAIRED AND MY FAMILY HAS NO FINANCIAL MEANS OF BUYING A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME.WE ARE MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENT ON A CAR THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A LEMON AND A DUD. I HAVE OWNED CARS FOR 17 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH TROUBLE WITH A CAR.THIS CAR ALSO BROKE DOWN ON JUNE 4TH ,2003.*AK
