We've had many problem in the past year. First in the peak of winter the heater core had to be replace. Following a month later with the engine making a horrible rattling, when the car in in idle it would stop all together, the car has been brought to a Ford dealer. . . Which estimates the cost to be $4700. 00 to fix the problem. The car is at 81000 miles and though we purchased the esp. . . It is 1800 miles overdue. . . So the cost will be ours to fix it. I've never had an engine die in a car that is 4 years old. The car has been sitting for the past week while we figure out what to do with it.
