Consumer Description

I WAS GOING 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND SMELLED TERRIBLE. PULLED OF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND BY THAT TIME THE CAR WAS IDLEING VERY ROUGH. TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME AND THEN NOTICED THE TEMP GAUGE SWUNG ALL THE WAY OVER TO H. THEN I NOTICED IN MY MIRROR THAT WHITE STEAM WAS POURING OUT FROM THE CAR. PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN QUICK. IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER FOR THE TOW TRUCK MAN, WHICH I SPENT 1 1/2 HOURS WAITING FOR. I THINK FORD SHOULD EXTEND IT'S WARRANTY DOWN ANOTHER YEAR SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. MAYBE WITH ENOUGH OF IT BEING REPORTED, THEY WILL.
