1 Ignition Module problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2000

Used wrong key in ignition and it blew up the ignition system. Had key made at a local hardware store. After 4 weeks of Ford promising assistance-they denied it. Trying a wrong key should not cause the module and transceiver to go bad. Followed recovery procedure in owners manual but car still would not start. This could be a potentially dangerous situation. Ford should recall or at very least put warning on ignition.

2 Ignition Module problem

Failure Date: 05/06/1997

Engine electronic control failed, causing vehicle to stall/stumble.
