Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 2005 ESCAPE WITH 40K MILES. IT HAS BEEN PAMPERED AND NOW HAD JUST OVER 50K ON IT. I WENT TO START IT ON A COLD MORNING AND IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER IT WARMED UP I TRIED AGAIN AND IT FIRED, BUT NOT RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS. IT TURNS OUT THE IGNITION COILS ARE PRONE TO FAILURE. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND I NEED TO REPLACE THREE OF THE SIX IGNITION COILS? THIS CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CAR KEPT STALLING AND HAD A TOP SPEED OF AROUND 30MPH ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN. I AM DISGUSTED! *TR
