Consumer Description

ON DEC. 19, 2008, THE O/D LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THEN ON DEC.26TH THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO REV UP WHEN I WAS NOT MASHING THE GAS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT, IT WOULD COST $98 PER ISSUE. I SEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND HAVE PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A RECALLABLE ISSUE DUE TO THE ABOUT OF COMPLAINTS? I JUST SPENT $300 HAVING THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR FIXED, SOMETHING THAT OTHERS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT. *TR
