Consumer Description

SINCE OCTOBER OF 2003 MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: ENGINE HESITATION, LOSS OF POWER WHEN I AM STOPPED A TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES I GET POWER SURGES AND LASTLY, THE ENGINE WILL SOUND AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF AND OR IS GASPING FOR AIR. I HAVE PAID FOR SEVERAL SERVICES, SUCH AS IGNITION SWITCH AND OTHER COLUMN ISSUES, BECAUSE MY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION ONE TIME AS WELL. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER UNDERLINED ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM, FIRST FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS APPARENT ENGINE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY HAVE AUTHORIZED THE DEALER ONLY TO MAKE REPAIRS IF IT NOT UP TO SPECFICATIONS(FUEL PUMP). THE DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FUEL PUMP. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FOR SERVICE EVAULATION FOR SOMETHING ON MY VEHICLE THAT IS "NOT" A PROBLEM.
