Consumer Description

I SHOULD HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS CAR USED. 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, CAR STARTED SHAKING, AND JUMPING, WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. MECHANIC UNABLE TO REPAIR, BUT REPLACED COILS AND CAR RAN "OK" FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND NOW DOES EXACT SAME THING TIMES 100. CAR STARTS, IDLES AT ABOUT 200 RPMS, SHAKES, POPS, JUMPS AND THEN DIES. MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO EXCEPT REPLACE COILS AGAIN AND HE NOT EVEN SURE IF THAT WILL FIX THE CAR SINCE THAT IS WHAT THE CODE ON THE COMPUTER TOLD HIM TO DO IN THE 1ST PLACE. I HAVE A USED CAR THAT I HAVE MADE 2 PAYMENTS ON AND IS NOW A BEAUTIFUL, LUXURIOUS PILE OF SCRAP METAL STUCK IN A PARKING LOT WHERE IT LAST DIED. FROM WHAT ALL I HAVE READ, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE WITH THIS CAR AND EVEN FORD DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD PRODUCT. *TR
