Consumer Description

I AM A WIDOW, I HAVE CHILDREN TO TAKE CARE OF. SO FOR SOMETHING LIKE THE IGNITION COIL TO ALL OF A SUDDEN GO BAD AND COST ME $850 IS REDICULOUS. I WAS AT WORK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. NO WARNING, NO NOTHING. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE READ OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF FORD IS JUST IGNORING THIS OR IS IT A WAY FOR FORD TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF OF INNOCENT HARD WORKING PEOPLE. I AM NOW IN DEBT BECAUSE OF THIS AND DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO GET OUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY CHILDREN DID NOT HAVE MUCH OF A CHRISTMAS. I WAS WARNED ABOUT BUYING A FORD AND I AM STARTING TO REGRET IT. I ALSO HAVE HAD HUB ASSEMBLY PROBLS AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN I NEED A MOTOR MOUNT. I GUESS THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD A BRAND NEW CAR. SO NOW MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN SOMETHING TERRIFYING.
