We may want to take you up on your offers!! Of course we would pay you for any parts we use.
Jon and I are still very puzzled by what caused this malfunction. From what everyone one has said, any one of these three shops will be able to give us a proper diagnose.
This engine problem came up just a few short weeks after the "sagging dash" manifested itself. Jon had the local dealer review the dash awhile back, due to the campaign notice he received. Of course the dash was fine at that time. Now the local dealer states the "statue of limitations" (timeframe) has expired. Ford has been less than receptive to resolving this issue. One thing after another it appears. Enough to make one leave Ford.
thanks again, Bill
