I own a 1997 ford aspire. the fuel pump has gone out. the car is only three years old. i took it to southbay ford in hawthorne, ca and they wanted to charge me 1.200.00 dollars to have it replaced. i called ford customer service and they couldn't help me since my warranty had expired. i ownly have 51,434 miles on the car. i have heard about ford charging astronomical figure on the aspire. especially sicnce the car is no longer sold in america. about a month ago, i took the car in for a tune up. for failed to identify the problem then. please respond back to my complaint. i feel that i am being robbed blind for a simple fuel pump repair. thank you chris johnson. *ak | |||

I own a 1997 ford aspire and i was driving the other day and i stopped at the store. when i left the store and got in my car to crank it up the car sputtered and shook then stopped running. i lifted up the hood and noticed that the fuel line was pouring out gas. i called a mechanic to come and fix the problem, which cost me 300 dollars. when i told the mechanic about the problem, he said that this was recalled on the 1994 model year of this car, but my car is a 1997, which means that this problem was never fixed on future cars. i think that this should be investigated since it was recalled on a earlier model, but i still had the same problem in a later model car. *jb | |||
