| Fuel system: electric relay to fuel pump failed 6/21/02--car had to be towed for repair power windows: driver's side window motor failed. was replaced in fall 2000 by dealer in seattle: "olympic lincoln mercury." presently, same motor failing again. also, rear passenger window gears have stripped out--window must be manually pulled up if mistakenly opened sudden stalling (april 2002 to present): had to find on internet that "distributor module" was overheating and causing car to stall (all power lost: no steering, one push on brakes--i was endangered) notice from ford, thought they know that this was happening and fatalities had been reported. (there was a service bulletin to repair shops about it, but not to consumers.) i was stranded 3 times, having to abandon the car, then have it towed twice for repairs. new "module" seemed to have resolved issue--read on. oct 15, 2002: car quit suddenly, at idle, when stopped in turn lane, waiting to turn across dangerous highway. would not start--had to be towed. nov 27/02: electrical issues nightly draining 1 week old battery. car has been gone over by electrical specialist, another repair shop, also the local ford agency--"no codes," but problem persists. car dead again today after returning from repair shop yesterday. what to do? what to do? car has 115,000 miles and has been excellently maintained. excellently! | |||
