Reported on Nov 06, 2012
| WHILE DRIVING 45MPH THE CAR JUST CUT OFF IS A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS REAR-ENDING ME! I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER W/ ME AT THE TIME! OUR MECHANIC HAS INFORMED US THAT APPARENTLY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE THAT BAD PLUGS WERE INSTALLED IN THESE CARS AND WOULD CAUSE COMPUTER FAILURE! NOTHING WAS TOLD TO US REGARDING THIS ISSUE WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR! WHEN EMAILED FMC THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE & A RECALL IS NOT REQUIRED. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES W/OUT WARNING??? *TR | |
