Consumer Description
CAR AT STOP ENGINE REVS FROM LOW TO HIGH, IF YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE WILL DIE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE IN MOTION. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL JUST DIE WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR. IN TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFAULT IN DESIGN WAS $889.18 AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. THAT IS AN EGREGIOUS CHARGE FOR A COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS CARE. PER THE INTERNET RESEARCH WE HAVE DONE. FORD SAYS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TAKE IT UP WITH NHSTA SO THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING.
