The car dies at any time, anywhere, my mechanic says it is a faulty module.i am in great danger of the safety of my child and myself.something must be done on this vehicle, as i have been stalled numerous times on the railroad tracks.please do something about the recall of this module.
This car was given to me by my sister (original owner) after only 31000 miles. The fuel injection system, all sensors, ignition module, throttle solenoid/sensor, and clutch have gone out without warning, usually when starting the car. I now have a car with another blown clutch, throttle/idle solenoid and main computer problems. I've put over $2,000 in repairs and still have a car that i now can't afford to fix any more. Uppon contacting ford regarding the problems, they denied any problems except for a rear axel part in some {not mine} models. Is there any recourse? i can't even sell it for parts. Thank you.
