Consumer Description

WHILE TEST DRIVING SLIDE CONTACTS WENT OUT, THEN 2 MONTHES LATER THEY WENT OUT AGAIN THEN 10 MONTHES LATER WENT OUT AGAIN. THEN HEAD GASKET WENT OUT. CRUISE DOSN'T WORK OR HORN. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND REPLACEMENT SO I HAVE TO JUST LIVE WITHOUT HORN AND CRUISE. I THINK I HAVE SHORT BECAUSE OF HORN NOW BUT WANT TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK AT IT, AND IT CAN NO LONGER BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF HEAD GASKET. *AK
