“I have a 1999 Ford escort zx2. The car has a rough idle in drive and reverse. The car shakes so bad that the headlights and turn signals bounce. I took it to the dealer, had the motor mounts replaced and PCM computer udgraded, and still does it. I was told by the dealer that it's a known problem in escorts and mystiques. I would like to know if Ford knows about this how come the consumer gets stuck paying the bill.”
