This vehicle is in the shop on a pretty regular basis for one defect or another. Especially eletrical defects. As of today, 05/21/2001 the "check engine light" is on and car is going back to the shop. I have contacted Ford several times at diff. Levels with no real help. I am paying too much money on a lease to be out a car once a month. I know lemon laws don't apply but can't I get some help here?
