I have a 2002 Ford Mustang gt that I bought new. I was driving to work on 2/16/09 & I heard a loud sound like someone had hit underneath my hood with a hammer so I immediately pulled over & turned the car off. I smelt a smoke / burning smell & when the hood was raised there was no fire. It was 31 degrees & I had no cell phone service so needless to say was I late for but I was stranded. I was there for 45 - 50 minutes before I was able to intouch with someone. It cost 75. 00 to have it towed to a Ford dealership & they are saying it blew a spark plug through the coil & cracked the very front pulley. They have not said whether it has put a dent in the hood / fender. They will call on 2/17/09 with the final estimate & report. The service dept said that if it has messed up any heads then I will be looking at 1500. 00 each head. . . . There is enough of people that this has happen to. Not only is this aggravating because of there neglect to produce a vehicle that is safe. But this can harm whom ever is the vehicle @ this time. My vehicle could not be moved any further because of this it had to be towed. I feel that Ford motor company is responsible for this problem that is happening to alot of us right now because of there neglect. I would like to know if there is a new / any petition to sign. Also is there any right that I have to proceed with this in the form of a petition or lawsuit & is there anything that I need to do to be able to do which ever I choose?.
