Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. ALL DUE TO "INTAKE PROBLEMS" (PER THE FORD CERTIFIED MECHANICS WHO WORKED ON IT). THE LAST MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON IT SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF INTAKE SYSTEM THAT FORD HAD TO CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SYSTEM. AT $80-100 JUST TO RUN THE COMPUTER CHECK EACH TIME AND $300-500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM EACH TIME I CAN'T AFFORD TO OWN A FORD ANYMORE. *NM
