THIS CAR WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY SISTER (ORIGINAL OWNER) AFTER ONLY 31000 MILES. THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, ALL SENSORS, IGNITION MODULE, THROTTLE SOLENOID/SENSOR, AND CLUTCH HAVE GONE OUT WITHOUT WARNING, USUALLY WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I NOW HAVE A CAR WITH ANOTHER BLOWN CLUTCH, THROTTLE/IDLE SOLENOID AND MAIN COMPUTER PROBLEMS. I'VE PUT OVER $2,000 IN REPAIRS AND STILL HAVE A CAR THAT I NOW CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX ANY MORE. UPPON CONTACTING FORD REGARDING THE PROBLEMS, THEY DENIED ANY PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR A REAR AXEL PART IN SOME {NOT MINE} MODELS. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE? I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT FOR PARTS. THANK YOU.
