First the car had to be repainted. then the alternator had to be replaced. next the whole rearend had to be rebuilt because the pinion and pinion bearing went bad. this could have caused a major accident. the car vibrates excessively when you're on the expressway. it is hard to get into 5th gear. it has popped out of gear on several occassions while on the expressway at 70 miles per hour. the spark plug wires had to be replaced. currently the car keeps stalling when pulling out or accelerating and the check engine light comes on. it has been in the shop 3 times so far for this latest problem. it is still not fixed, and i don't think they know what's wrong with it. | |||

Used wrong key in ignition and it blew up the ignition system. had key made at a local hardware store. after 4 weeks of ford promising assistance-they denied it. trying a wrong key should not cause the module and transceiver to go bad. followed recovery procedure in owners manual but car still would not start. this could be a potentially dangerous situation. ford should recall or at very least put warning on ignition. | |||
