problem #2

Escape XLS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 107,000 miles

The car got stuck in reverse and would not switch gears. I dared NOT to send it to the dealer, as they would charge me the cost of a heart transplant to repair it. At 107000 miles, I didn't have a cow. It got it fixed, but now the damn engine light is on with a faulty reading to check cylinder #3. I had all 6 cylinders replaced with all the bells and whistles that go along with each, but the engine light is still on. I've tried everything imaginable to correct it. No mechanic I've gone to, even the dealer, know what the problem is. It keeps giving the same reading on that cylinder. I don't know what to do. I can't even get a good trade in deal with that light on. I guess its true what they say about FORD, "Fix Or Repair Daily"...cuz that's what I've been doing...Anyone know how to fix this?
