I purchased this vehicle 10/7/99 and have been taking it in for service since 10/12/99 the dealership has not fixed any of the problems w/the car, in fact my car keeps getting worse. The roof its self leaks and while removing the headliner the dealership caused dents and creases in my roof. They still haven't repaired the dents or the leak. Also, the computer has been going out since day 1 causing a fire smell which the dealership said was the sparks hitting the catalitic converter and causing problems w/the transmission. The car spark knocks constantly, dies while driving, smells like its on fire and has a hard time shifting into gear. The dealership wants to "try to fix it " as they have tried for almost 2 years but any repairs they make will not be warrantied. That is unacceptable! I have contacted a local tv station, written a letter to ford, talked to the dealership owner, called ford customer service and filled out a ford survey. After all of that, no one has been in contact with me.
