My problems began almost immediately after purchase. The ABS and the power loss, I consider to be life threatening. The power losses occurred during rush hour, after dark and while driving alone. Considering the fact that I am female, I consider this to be a two-fold danger. Ford has offered to pay me $2000 toward the trade-in of my car (cloverleaf to pay 17,500 for mine). This still has me paying in the neighborhood of 5500 for a 99 model. I did not purchase my car to be trading in after a year and none of this is my doing nor my choice. The car I was driving before the purchase of my new one (it wasn't a Ford product) had 150,000 miles. I no longer felt safe in it. It appears that I was wrong. I probably was safer in it than in the new one. I realize that none of my problems will qualify my car for the lemon law, however, considering the numerous problems I have had, I most defineately consider it to be a lemon.
