Be Well and Victorious (and) SAFE!!
MERCKURSER
I figured from the description, that you had a fuel pump, relay or ECM problem. Glad it was no problem to repair.
Thus This Website.
I'm alarmed at the litigious nature of your reactions and believe me, there is NO love lost between Ford and I - I had a lemon 1997 Thunderbird with 6 sets of brake rotors, an engine and a transmission in 13,000 miles that they wouldn't buy back. It's just that although we never want our vehicles to break, they do, because they're machines. I worked in service a long time and got tired of being attacked every time someone's car had a problem.
I apologize for my reaction.
seriously... my sister's fuel pump died cold on an interstate barrelled down to two lanes due to construction a couple years ago. in a 1991 olds, so now we know there are either two car companies that can never do anything right.... or... we have an aging issue that can hit anything on the road. as they say after reading the Edmunds Use Policy, stuff fails.
sorry for you. had to pick her up and put her up a couple days until they got a pump to noplace, MN and got it in and the pressure and regulation tested, etc. we went apple-orchard picking and saw a show and had a decent weekend out of it.
life is what you make it, I guess.
I've givin my heart and money to Silvia (my Sport Trac) anything she needs his hers and then some. But to trust Silvia is to trust Ford. My 72 Ranchero is all mine. I can work on that car myself. I put my life in my own hands. And that little Border Hopper (72 Ranchero) I trust, cause I know what he's thinking. Silvis (silver), Border Hopper (border patrol green)...and have never had a scratch or dent...who wants that color paint on thier stuff? MERCKURSER --->
You should report to NHTSA AFTER the repair and tell them what was defective, I think. In this way you can be most helpful to others.
As for Consumer Affairs, they deal with fraud or with illegal practices. I don't quite understand why you contacted them either.
But aside from all that, glad to hear they fixed your car. This is what warranties are for, to take care of the inevitable and statistically certain number of cars that will fail.
