This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My newest problem that I have with the car now is it stalls at red lights and doesnt start for 45 minute to an hour. I took it to 3 garages already and they can't find the problem.
The PCM module is a critical emission control device. According to the warranty book provided with the vehicle, it is covered if it is replaced. However, a failure (loss of programming) is not considered a part failure. It would appear that a loss of programming is a failure (memory?). the Ford mfg. Consumer line was contacted on 8/23/99. The Ford mfg. Explained that only when a part is replaced is this covered; since only re-programming is required, Ford is not obligated to repair this PCM module. This seems to be in conflict with federal emission warranty.
