I pulled this from the website of The Center for Auto Safety:

After five years of litigation, a settlement has been reached in a national class action in California, Howard v. Ford Motor Co., that will reimburse owners for ignition module failures that occurred withing the first 100,000 miles, and will extend the warranty to 100,000 miles for any vehicle still under this mileage. For more information, go to:

www.tfisettlement.com.

Some trial attorneys group is probably putting together a Class Action Suit based on the California decision and sending notices out to anyone with a registered Ford vehicle that falls under the TFI module classification. Don't expect much from this.
In these suits, the attorneys always get millions in fees and the plaintiffs (you and me) get a dollar or two, if that.

I replaced my TFI module two years ago when I turned 100,000 on my LX, just to be cautious and not get stuck (it happened to a friend of mine, 200 miles from home- on a Sunday).

I would love Ford to reimburse me the $100. I paid them for the replacement module but I'm not holding my breath. Neither should you.
