Ignition Module Problems of Ford Escort

My car has 55000 miles and its a 1999 Escort. Y transmission needs to be replaced. I have replaced the timing belt, this at less than 55000 miles? I was driving on a very busy street and the car died and would not restart. The shop replaced the timing belt and the pully's. Now I have gone to work Monday morning and came out to go home, the car would not start again, just tried to turn over. I had it towed to the shop again, now its the fuel pump. There is no way that any of these problems should have started to happen yet on this car. There are major problems with it, I need some resolution on the problems that are happening.

Car starts driving rough and shaking. First time at 350 miles and they replaced fuel pump and something else to do with gas. Second time at 1215 they replaced the spark plugs. Third time at 1600 miles they couldn't determine what was happening or causing but quessed something to do with 3rd cyclinder. They drove it till it happened again around 1900 with a black box and it showed everything it was doing. They have decided to replace the whole motor. We want a different car but they so far won't do that. This started at 350 miles and seems to happen about everytime we refuel and drive a far distance. During the week it only goes short trips in town. How lemony does it have to be???.

While sitting at a light vehicle shut down, and engine check light came on. Vehicle shut completely down due to computer module failure. Also, alternator and battery died out, and engine belt, that runs everythng within the vehicle, disconnected due to the harmonic balancer that almost came off. Three sensors were also replaced.

Leased. Vehicle stalls when braking and starting again, it stalls and dies out. The problem occurred two times. Dealer contacted contacted and stated computer chip defective. Problem still exists.

Vehicle started, engine rattled upon acceleration at all speeds at 2300 miles. After numerous failed repair attempts by dealer,I sent complaint to Fords dsb board. Working throgh arbitration vehicle looked at by engineer. They replaced pcm. Problem got worse,along with new problems,lack of power,hard start,transmission hesitaing. Then they replaced fuel pump,didnt help, then ignition switch, didnt help,then mass air flow sensor and air filter, didnt help. Finally vehicle started stalling while driving, during acc. Towed back to shop, Ford had it six weeks this time replaced pcm two more times. I have vehicle back,still problem with transmission hesitating. Vehicle in shop eight times for same or related problems and totalling almost three months in shop. Still in arbitration, consdering closing case and taking to dsb. Personally.

When in a parking lot vehicle hesitated when the accelerator was pressed. Also, at a stop sign the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator was pressed. The vehicle is very hard to start on cold mornings dueto electronic control module failure.

Engine vibrates, and has a high idle. Engine runs rough and shakes. Engine surges and hesitates. Car stalls. I have had the vehicle in for this same repair several times since the purchase of it. The mechanics have replaced spark plugs, fuel guage, fuel filter, valve idle air control, vapor management, motor mounts. The dearlership in hillsborough replaced a cable something (the service manger quit and a ticket was not found for this repair. ) the vehicle continues to have same problem without being totally fixed. The last time I brought the car in for stalling, the repair was done, but the next morning the car continued to stall. As of this date, I am taking the car in for the same problem again. Please note: in reviewing the information after submittting I noticed that in # of failures passenger air bag deployed 8 times with the date of 7/24/98. This is incorrect, car was not in an accident and air bags were not used.

While driving the car just lost power, the engine went to idle and would not respond to throttle. When driver turned off the key it worked fine. About one month later, when starting the vehicle the engine would not accelerate when pushing on the accelerator pedal. The vehicle just idled. Consumer experienced a similar problem last week. The vehcle was taken to dealership, and the computer module was reprogrammed.
