Sick LD in Toledo May 12, 2006, 02:54:58 pm Yahoo Message Number: 66672Just in case anyone spots a red & white 2005 LD on a Ford dealer's lot near Toledo, OH, it's NOT for sale. It has a faulty "processor" in its engine, according to the mechanic. Since it's less than a year old, with 12,500 miles on it, Ford pays for everything, including a loaner car to get us home, and until the LD is repaired. The "processor" is a $700 part, supposedly the "brain" of the engine. It's been there a week now, alas.

When we turned it on, it showed an amber engine-shaped symbol and an amber wrench-shaped symbol on the dash display, and it "chugged" - it would move, but ever so slow; no power at all. We limped down the street to a very conveniently located Ford dealer. No symptoms beforehand at all.Quote
