| Description of the problem | This is the 3rd time that my 2004 lincoln aviator has shut down while driving it... With kids in the car. No steering, no breaks, and 60 mph down the highway. This car is sure to be the death of me... I have been lucky 3 times now, but what about the next time??? Voluntary service recall... Manufacturing defect of the coil packs... Issued by epa. Gov (found after digging), replacement of the coil packs are covered until 120,000 miles. Ford will only replace one at a time, not all of them, so each time one is replaced.. I still have the risk of another going bad. Had four replaced so far, another tomorrow. I cannot believe that ford can get away with this knowing that they are putting people's lives in danger. A car completely shutting down while driving at 60mph because of a defect during the manufacturing process doesn't cause concern for a recall... But a car speeding out of control does? What happens when i am on the interstate next time during rush hour and i have no steering or brakes???? |
