I am here to report a complaint as to Lasco Ford Lasco Ford on 2525 Owen Road Fenton, MI 48430 holding my daughter's vehicle for several days to fix 2 recalls. She is 19 and they seem to be trying to take advantage of her in telling her other things that need repair rather than just fixing the recalls. Now they are saying she needs to pay a diagnostic fee to get her car back now that she will not spend the $1000 to repair everything, they say she needs.

We were northwest bound on the ohio turnpike just before rt 11 south of youngstown. Travelling 70 MPH, the car suddenly lost power and decelerated. The motor continued to run, but the car would not go more than 5 or 10 MPH. The yellow wrench light on the left side of the instrument panel illuminated and remained until the motor was turned off. After sitting on the side of the highway for about an hour, the vehicle was started and the yellow wrench light was gone. Aaa advised me to take the next available turnaround and return home which was about 70 miles away. After we turned around, the aaa technician followed us to the next service plaza. While there he checked the vehicle's fluids and found no problems. The vehicle's diagnostic check indicated that all of the monitored systems were alright. We drove the 70 miles home without incident. …

I was traveling on a two lane highway going about 60 MPH with my two granddaughters in the car with me, when all of a sudden I lost power and the car began to decelerate. The wrench light came on. I pulled over to the side of the road and after calling my mechanic I turned the car off. I waited for about 5 minutes and restarted the vehicle. The wrench light went off and I was once again able to drive the vehicle. This is very dangerous if it should happen on a major freeway in rush hour traffic. Some internet research indicates that this has been a major problem with the Mercury and others. I called a Ford dealer who said my car was not part of the extended warranty that was part of the "customer satisfaction program" and he would not tell me any other information citing liability concerns.
