Consumer Description

I WAS TRYING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MPH ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I STOPPED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE ANOTHER 1/2 MILE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC, WHO PLACED ENGINE ON CODE MACHINE AND STATES MY ENGINE COILS WERE BAD. REPLACED ALL OF MY ENGINE COILS AND THE CAR IS STILL RIDING LIKE A DUMP TRUNK. TOOK DO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME 160.00 TO PUT ON MACHINE AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY ENGINE COILS, I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE COILS. I AM JUST AT MY WITTS END. I WILL NOT EVER BUY A FORD AGAIN. AS A SIDE NOTE, I PUT A TRANSMISSION IN THIS TRUCK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND THE DEALER WHO FIXED MY CAR, DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A RENTAL TO DRIVE. ITS A NEW AND USED CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME ONE OF THEIR CARS TO DRIVE. ARE YOU SERIOUS? *TR
