Sometimes when I have driven the car and get back in it within an hour or 2 it the car will start but will not hold an idle. In order for me to get the car going I have to have my foot on the clutch and gas at the same time and after 10-15 min it will 'catch' and stay running. The problem has been there since the car was new and I took it in to waldorf Ford and they looked at it when it was under warrenty and they said their was no problem at all. I was wondering if this falls within the lawsuit that in pending in Maryland. Please contact as soon as possible to see if this can be resolvedthank you

We are just suprised that the car would need a valve job after all it is only 5 years old. We bought it with the origanal warrenty and purchased an extended warrenty to 60,000 miles which has now expired. We have been good with daily maintnence and have had the car in on many warrenty repairs. Have heard that Ford has been having some complaints on the cylinders malfunctioning.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

Every time I stop at a stop sign/light, the car dies. At times just trying to back out of the drive way the car dies. A friend has a 95 Escort and he has had the same problem and is unable to find the cause. Another friend has a 95 probe and she has the same problem and could not find the reason. Is there a defect in the 95 Ford?

Since we bought this used program vehicle, we have had to replace the tires at least 4-5 times, the back top brake light numerous times (fuse) the brakes at least twice and when my son was hit during the winter the airbags did not deploy and he had back injuries his passenger had chest pains from the seat belts, we did replace the timing belt this year and than in July the engine stopped working and the mechanic (pride auto) stated that the engine was damaged this occured while driving appx. 25 hrs per mile. The dealership refused to help us stating that we got 99,000 miles out of it. We are voluntarily returning the vehicle, they are giving us a hard time about it.
