Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE START STALLING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 25MILES ON THE INTERSTATE AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES TRYING TO PASS ME. I WAS CLOSE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SO I DECIDED TO GO THERE. NOT LONG AFTER THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTS TO GO UP. ONCE L ARRIVED AT THE FORD DEALER WHERE I ALWAYS GO FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE AND AFTER 3HRS I WAS ASKED IF THEY COULD KEEP MY CAR OVERNIGHT TO DO A COOLANT CHECK. I SAID YES AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODE 301 WAS A SPARK PLUG THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED BUT THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A COOLANT LEAK AND ITS LEAKING IN MY ENGINE AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. OVERALL I NEED A NEED ENGINE AND THE CAR IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. FORD WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE PROBLEM.
