But it went in, and started okay. On tuesday, july…

The complete ignition module requires replacement on my car. I was told by a ford motor co customer service representative that this particular problem is wide spread and would probably be covered by the company. I was told today that although there are quite a number of incidents with this particular part it is not yet a recall and therefore we must pay approximately $400 to repair it. I do not feel this is fair. I…
