Consumer Description

FOR THE LAST YEAR MY CAR HAS BEEN DYING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE SEVERAL THINGS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS TO THE POINT THAT I CAN'T ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT'S UNSAFE, IT CAN DIE AT ANY TIME. A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT IN THE RECENT NEWS FORD IS FIGHTING A LAWSUIT OVER TAURUS' THAT ARE DYING THE SAME WAY MINE IS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BUT WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE MY PROBLEM IN THE CATEGORY OF "UNSAFE" PROBLEMS.
