| My problems began almost immediately after purchase. the abs and the power loss, i consider to be life threatening. the power losses occurred during rush hour, after dark and while driving alone. considering the fact that i am female, i consider this to be a two-fold danger. ford has offered to pay me $2000 toward the trade-in of my car (cloverleaf to pay 17,500 for mine). this still has me paying in the neighborhood of 5500 for a 99 model. i did not purchase my car to be trading in after a year and none of this is my doing nor my choice. the car i was driving before the purchase of my new one (it wasn't a ford product) had 150,000 miles. i no longer felt safe in it. it appears that i was wrong. i probably was safer in it than in the new one. i realize that none of my problems will qualify my car for the lemon law, however, considering the numerous problems i have had, i most defineately consider it to be a lemon. | |||
