After $1200 dollars in replacement of sensors, $1500 in rebuilding the engine because of defective temperature mechanisms, and putting on new part after part which the dealership and mechanics keep telling me will fix the problem, my car still stalls, looses power and goes into spasms from one gear to another. I would like to know what is wrong with this car, what investigation you are taking to solve the problem of consumers getting soaked.

After starting from a stop engine started making noises at low speeds. I took the car to my mechanic and he told me the engine was no good, that bearings were gone . I needed a new or rebuilt engine and that this was common on the 3.8l engine. This engine only had 46,404 original miles on it. I contacted ford and they said there was nothing they would do.
