Consumer Description

PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AT WORK ONTO DELHI PIKE A 4 LANE HIGHWAY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (RUSH HOURS TRAFFIC) GOT OUT TO LANE STARTED DOWN ROAD, ENGINE JUST REVVED CAR QUITE RUNNING, RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC 35 MILE HR ZONE. CALLED FORD, NO RECALLS (WAS TOLD NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FILED). FORD REALLY DID NOT EVEN SEEM CONCERNED OR ACT LIKE THEY CARED ABOUT IT. I GUESS SINCE THE VEHICLE IS 2003 AND IT IS NOW 2011. SORRY ABOUT MY LUCK, WAS HOW FORD APPROACHED IT. IT COST $2231 TO REPAIR. THANK GOD I AM ALIVE IF THIS WOULD HAVE QUIT IN MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE DEATHS TO MAKE THIS A RECALL, IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY CAR HAD 52520 MILES ON IT, MOST VEHICLES THIS IS JUST BROKE IN. CAR COMPLAINTS.COM THERE ARE OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING.
