“This car was given to me by my sister (original owner) after only 31000 miles. The fuel injection system, all sensors, ignition module, throttle solenoid/sensor, and clutch have gone out without warning, usually when starting the car. I now have a car with another blown clutch, throttle/idle solenoid and main computer problems. I've put over $2,000 in repairs and still have a car that I now can't afford to fix any more. Uppon contacting Ford regarding the problems, they denied any problems except for a rear axel part in some {not mine} models. Is there any recourse? …”
