Since owning the car I have had numerous problems. The first problem I had was with the coils shorting out and causing it to misfire. This has been extremely frustrating and time consuming. I never have to worry about the dark, because the check engine light has been glowing bright orange since I've owned it. Next the tensioner busted, then timing chain fell off, and then the timing chain busted. To top it off I was driving to work the other morning and the front tire turned completely sideways and sent me skidding to a halt in the middle of little Harlem (east Houston). After declining an offer of pork chops and a 40oz. I examined my car to notice the lower ball joint busted in two. If this would have happened on the freeway it would have been certain death. Upon further research I found this was a known problem that was a recall in 2000! I bought the car from a dealer in 2004 and this problem was never dealt with!! Why am I having so much problem with a car that probably cost 45,000 brand new? My girlfriend has nicknamed it the "rolling deathtrap" after it nearly killed me the other morning. But out of all this there is good news. It turns out I'm 3 hours away from being a certified S.A.E. mechanic with the hours I have put on my car. As my dad would say its all apart of fords "better idea".
