Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND THEN THE ENGINE FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE AS I HAD CARS GOING BY ME AS I WAS STALLING OUT, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY WIRING HARNESS. THERE IS A TSB OUT BUT IT SAYS THAT MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED TWO MONTHS PRIOR THEN THE DATES LISTED FOR THE TSB. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IN THE CORRECT MANUFACTURING DATES BUT I AM BEING TOLD BY A FORD REPRESENTATIVE THAT IT ISN'T MY CAR WITHOUT THEM EVEN LOOKING AT IT.
