Consumer Description

I DROVE FROM MAINE TO MASS. APPROX 170 MILES, WE STOPPED AT MY BOYFRIENDS MOTHERS HOUSE FOR 20 MIN. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR STARTED IT UP AND IT HAD A HORRENDOUS NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. IT SOUNDED LIKE A MOTORCYCLE WAS IN MY ENGINE. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME AND OUR MECHANIC TOLD US THE BAD ...AWFUL NEWS AND THE EXPENSE. I HAVE A BLOWN SPARK PLUG AND NEED A HELICOIL RESULTING IN A NEW MOTOR OR MINE BEING TAKEN APART (WHICH ONE IS CHEAPER) I AM A SINGLE MOM AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE PART AS I HAVE A $350 A MONTH PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE!!! FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE PARKED AND STARTING IT UP AND NOT SOMEWHERE ON THE MASS OR MAINE INTERSTATE. CONTACTING FORD HASN'T WORKED, I JUST GOT A GENERIC EMAIL ACTING LIKE THIS IS NEWS TO THEM YET I CAN FIND DOCUMENTATION ALL OVER THE INTERNET FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE!!!! *NM
