HERE WE GO. STEP ON THE GAS, CAR WANTS TO DIE. LET OFF THE GAS, CAR LUNGES FORWARD. SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT, CAR REVS TO 4000 RPM, AND ALMOST HITS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NUMEROUS TIMES PER DAY THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE ENGINE REVS TO 4000+ RPM.
TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, DOESN'T CODE. THEN THEY FIND THAT IT IS A MISS ON CYLINDER #4-PLUG AND COIL REPLACED. COST $504. STILL NOT FIXED. THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE COMPUTER, WHICH WOULD RUN ME ANOTHER $960 TO FIX.
THEN WHILE MY SON WAS BUYING A CAR, THERE WAS A 2004 FORD ESCAPE ON THE LOT. WHEN I ASKED WHY IT WAS TRADED IN, THEY TOLD ME THE COMPUTER WENT OUT ON THIS ONE AS WELL, THEN HAD TO HAVE THE COILS AND PLUGS REPLACED. I THEN STARTED TO CALL FORD CORPORATE OFFICES TO FIND OUT WHY THIS WASN'T A RECALL SINCE IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE ESCAPE. THEY WERE EVER SO HELPFUL (SARCASM). WITH THE TOWING AND MECHANICS, THIS HAS COST ME OVER $1100 AND IS STILL NOT FIXED.
LOVE FORD TRUCKS, JUST NOT FORD MOTOR CORPORATION!!!
