| My car stalled while in the middle of a busy intersection while in motion. later find out that i need a new fuel pump. was not aware it was under recall. paid to have it fixed in july of 2009. repair shop failed to put my vin, mileage, and correct year of vehicle on invoice resulting in not being able to get my money back from ford. recall was good through january 31, 2010. my car once again stalled while at a stop light sparks and small flames when attempting to start after stalling. electrical problem, and ford is doing nothing about it. i replaced the battery and still no crank or clicking. also listed as a recall. spend $651.02 to have fuel pump fixed and now can't get my money back because repair shop did not fill out invoice correctly. now will have to possibly pay over a $1,000.00 to fix the electrical issue... when the fuel pump was fixed, the shop failed to secure the gas tank correclty causing fuel to pour out while driving at a rate of a gallon per minute. ford is now doing everything they can to avoid paying me back for tehe recall services after i was informed by a ford customer service rep that i would be paid back. i have been back and forth for weeks now to the dealership and i have been told over and over again with a new excuse everytime as to why they can not repay me... | |||

| The door locks installed allow the driver to hit a switch on driver's door to lock passengers, or to push in the lock, which will lock both driver and passenger's door. upon entering the vehicle i have pushed both the switch and lock, neither of which would lock the passenger's side. i repeat this up to 10 times before the passenger side will lock. not too safe!! 2nd complaint---stereo will be on and the driver's side speakers will shut off for a few seconds and you will only hear passenger's side. then they will come back on. this happened every 10-15 minutes for about 3 monthes but has not happened in a while.*ak | |||
