Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THIS VECHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD IGNITION PROBLEMS 4 TIMES. I HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED 3 TIMES. 3 MONTHS AGO I WENT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTERS FROM SCHOOL AND IT WOULD NOT WHEN WE WERE GOING TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL. I HAD TO LEAVE IT THER AND COME SEVERAL HOURS LATER. WHEN I RETURNED I PLAYED WITH THE IGNITION A LITTTLE BIT AND IT STARTED. IT WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WASN'T GETTING ANY FUEL PRESSURE. HE REPLACED A CORRODED WIRE AND SECURED FUEL PUMP& FILTER PROPERLY. IT FINE AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IT STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WOULDN'T START! I HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING WITH THE IGNITION BEFORE IT WILL CRANK OVER. SOMETIMES IT WILL SOMETIMES IT WON'T. IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING. I ORDERED A 2001 250 FORD LAST WEEK AND AM HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT FOLLOWING THREW WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE BAD EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS BRONCO.
