Around 3,000 miles, the car started to stall or die when I was coasting to a stop in neutral. This stalling or dying occurs in stop and go traffic.
The most serious problem with the car is when it completely locks out of all gears. The car has to be pulled off of the road and stopped before it will go back into any gear.
The car is a good looking car and when it runs properly it is a fun little car to drive.
I will never buy another Ford product. The service is one issue, but the reliability is a serious problem.

I have a 2000 escort and love it. In the 70,000 miles I have put on it, I have had to put on tires. Not bad since this is all I have done except for regular service.
