Car was purchased at Galpin motors in Rolling Hills Southern California on Valentines Day February 2002. Had to pay $7000 over sticker. With tax and license, $51K out the door. First problem was overheating and had thermostat and fluid change. Since December 2015, car has been towed three times to St. George Ford in Utah.
First time was ignition coils problem and all eight were replaced. Next problems when car had to be towed as engine would not run, one of two fuel pumps have been replaced twice. Same problem again on April 2, 2016. Car had been driven approximately 10 miles to a car wash. Engine was turned off after going thru the automated car wash and I was waiting in line for the car to be vacuumed. Engine would not start again and car was towed to Ford dealer. The car is being road tested after replacing the same fuel pump (third time).
I asked for a 100 mile road test. Just received results and car is running good. No charges as pump is under warranty for two years. I am almost afraid to drive.this car that I dearly love. Also I only have one more free tow with AAA. The mileage is currently a little over 40000. Today is April 6, 2016, and am going to pickup the car at St. George Ford. Will keep you posted.
