Consumer Description

WE JUST SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR NEAREST FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF WITCH IS STILL AN HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE. THEN ON FRIDAY BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT IT STARTED TO RATTLE AND DIED WHILE TRAVELING THRU A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION. I MADE IT HOME BARELY AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD A DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX. BOTTOM LINE IS IT RUINED THE ENGINE AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $10,000 BILL. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE ROAD TO THE DEALERSHIP I COULD HAVE CRASHED OVER THE STEEP TERRAIN.
