Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A GARAGE SINCE AUG. BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE AND THEN JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THE CAR COULD BE STARTED AGAIN, AND WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE A SHUT OFF. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD NARROWED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY. A WEEK LATER I SAY AN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT A FORD SETTLEMENT INVOLVING FAULTY IGNITIONS AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR THAT CAUSES ENGINE STALLS. AS FAR AS MY BRAKES GO, I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CALIPERS NOT RELEASING. I PAID TO HAVE THEM FIXED, AND THEY FAILED AGAIN. I PAID TO HAVE THEM FIXED, AND THEY FAILED AGAIN. FINALLY I HAD THEM COMPLETELY REPLACED, IN TOTAL COSTING NEARLY 1500 DOLLARS.*AK
