Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD COUNTLESS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE LATEST IS THE INSULATING COATING ON THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD IS CRACKED AND BREAKING OFF. THIS IS CAUSING NUMEROUS ENGINE CODES. THESE SHORTS ARE CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE HIWAY AND NOT RESTART. I WAS NOTIFIED OF FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER THE CAR HAD ALREADY PASSED THE MILEAGE THAT THEY OFFERED. I CAN NOT DRIVE OR SELL THE CAR AS IS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A NHTSA RECALL YET, I HAVE HEARD OF MANY OF THESE CARS EVEN CATCHING ON FIRE.*AK
