Consumer Description

SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AND GET BACK IN IT WITHIN AN HOUR OR 2 IT THE CAR WILL START BUT WILL NOT HOLD AN IDLE. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET THE CAR GOING I HAVE TO HAVE MY FOOT ON THE CLUTCH AND GAS AT THE SAME TIME AND AFTER 10-15 MIN IT WILL 'CATCH' AND STAY RUNNING. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW AND I TOOK IT IN TO WALDORF FORD AND THEY LOOKED AT IT WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRENTY AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS NO PROBLEM AT ALL. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS FALLS WITHIN THE LAWSUIT THAT IN PENDING IN MARYLAND. PLEASE CONTACT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO SEE IF THIS CAN BE RESOLVEDTHANK YOU
