Consumer Description

CAR GOES INTO "ENGINE FAILURE MODE" WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE DIES AND POWER BRAKES AND STEERING GO OUT. WENT TO DEALER FOR INJECTOR FLUSH AND AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANING PLUS REPROGRAM PCM. STILL GET "ENGINE FAILURE MODE". VERY DANGEROUS. MY ONLY CAR. HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE FORDS AND YET NO RECALL. I AM OUT $340 AND NO LASTING FIX. AT DEALER 5/18/1L. WHAT IS WRONG WITH GETTING THIS REPAIRED CORRECTLY. WENT TO MAROONE FORD, 1333 N. FEDERAL HWY. FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33304. CAR NOW SITTING IN MY GARAGE. IT WON'T RUN AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT STARTS BUT IS VERY ROUGH AND WON'T RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL. CAN I TRY AND DRIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 10 MPH WITHOUT DAMAGING THE ENGINE? I AM RETIRED AND DON'T HAVE THE BIG BUCKS TO REPAIR THIS CAR. WILL FORD PAY FOR THE REPAIR? THE FAILURE MODE HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE THE REPAIR BUT HAS "FIXED" ITSELF UNTIL TODAY. *TR
