Consumer Description

COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER COOLANT WAS ADDED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHAT NOT GO OUT. ALSO EVERY TIME I ADDED FUEL MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. EACH TIME I WOULD ADD FUEL IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO START THE ENGINE. EVERY OTHER DAY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START THE ENGINE FOR HOURS. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION I HAD SEVERAL CODES COME UP. A FAILED COOLANT BYPASS VALVE WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. CODES (P 0087) (P 018 C) (P 26 B 7) (P 1450) THE RESTRAINTS MODULE CONTROL REPLACEMENT AND DID A COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH. AFTER EXTENSIVE WORK AND OVER ALMOST $2,000 SPENT MY VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE TROUBLE STARTING MY VEHICLE AFTER ADDING FUEL EVERY SINGLE TIME. THE FUEL ISSUE REALLY WORRIES ME BECAUSE WHENEVER I GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE I SMELL GAS AND DON'T THINK THAT IS NORMAL. I REALLY HOPE I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED SOON BECAUSE I CANNOT GO WITHOUT DRIVING BUT I AM LOOSING SLEEP AS WELL AS BEING VERY NERVOUS WHEN I HAVE TO REFUEL. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I AM STARTING TO REGRET CHOOSING A FORD!!!!!!
