| While driving to work on the highway 65-mph the engine shuts off without warning, the instrumental panel starts acting up as if you are turning on and off the key. they found a lose wire to the instrumental cluster on the second time they replaced the instrumental cluster. it has been taken back six times and now the dashboard shuts down and i lose lights, signals, and other electronic features. i have lost power steering and brakes in between. they offered me an extended warranty??? it is a shame that a consumer who buys a car from a dealership has to go through the grinder just to get out of their lemon. i just want to get out of this vehicle. *tr | |||

| I was traveling at about 40mph and a message flashed on my gauge stating something to the effect engine lower temp. i continued to drive the car and message went away. i later found out that my car had been recalled for possible fire due to engine overheating. i assume that this message is the pre-cursor to what could be a possible fire. i took my car to the ford dealership and i am awaiting a response from ford on a possible fix. the car was only 1 week old. i have requested ford to take the car back and get into a non-affected engine type. *tr | |||
