Consumer Description

I WROTE A LETTER TO FORD (DATED AUGUST 18) LETTING THEM KNOW THAT I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO PAY OVER $700 FOR AN ALTERNATOR (WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY ONLY 1 YEAR OLD) AND AN AIR FLOW SENSOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN JUNE 1999 AND DIDN'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REPLACING EITHER AFTER ONLY A YEAR. PLEASE SEE LETTER ATTACHED. THIS MORNING (10/17/00), MY CAR WOULDN'T START UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL.*AK
