Very dissapointed with Ford on this one. They had a recall for a fuel pump issue from 2000-2001, my car fell just outside the range with exactly the same symptoms as the recall. I had to pay 565.00 for repairs. Not a happy camper! 
98000 mi Car was leaking rainwater into the passenger side under the dash. Traced the problem to a faulty gutter that was letting the water pour off the windshield into the cabin air intake. Fixed with duct tape and wire. 
99000 mi Leaking continued, retrofitted the cabin air intake area with aluminium flashing. 
107000 mi The windshield washer fluid reservoir had slid down and was pushing out the plastic trim inside the wheel well. The garage resecured it for free during the car's Maryland safety inspection ($65).
