| 2005 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 476 CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH. LUCKILY IT WAS EARLY ON A SUNDAY MORNING, AND NOT HIGH-TRAFFIC TIME, WE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER. OUR MECHANIC HAS BEEN WORKING ON AND RESEARCHING THE ISSUE. TURNS OUT FORD IS AWARE AND HAS ISSUED A "SERVICE BULLETIN" THAT THE COMPUTER IS FAULTY, AND AFFECTS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, SPARK PLUGS, AND COILS. A QUICK SEARCH ON CAR COMPLAINTS TOLD US WE WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES, AND IT APPEARS TO BE A TIME RATHER THAN MILEAGE FAILURE. WHILE MOST ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MINIMUM $2,000 FIX, WE ARE THANKFUL IT DID NOT CAUSE HARM TO US OR ANYONE ELSE. HOW MANY 2005 FORD ESCAPES ARE ON THE ROADS THESE DAYS? *TR |
