Consumer Description

CAME HOME FROM A 45 MILE TRIP. PULLED UP IN FRONT OF OUR HOME. I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE & THE ENGINE DIED. FORD HAD JUST REPROGRAMMED THIS VEHICLE PER A RECALL ONLY ABOUT 1,000 MILES BEFORE THIS ENGINE FAILURE. I HAD NOTICED SINCE THE REPROGRAMMING THAT THE ENGINE HESITATED AT TIMES & SOUNDED/FELT LIKE AT OTHER TIMES LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO DIE. FORD REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1, 2, & 4 STATING THAT THEY WERE INTERMITTENTLY MISFIRING UNDER LOAD. SINCE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED VEHICLE NO LONGER HESITATES BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO SOUND/FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE AT TIMES. *TR
