Consumer Description

THE CAR STALLS IN TURNS WHILE DOWNSHIFTING; GOING UP HILLS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT BEGINS HESITATION WHILE ACCELERATING; AND AFTER SEVERAL HESITATIONS IT WILL STALL OUT MUCH LIKE IT IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. THE PROBLEM BEGAN THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ONLY WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING WITH UNDER HALF A TANK OF FUEL BUT NOW OCCURS EVEN WITH A FULL TANK. TWICE I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO FORD TECHNICIANS, TWICE TEST RESULTS CAME BACK NEGATIVE. THE FORD TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER A RELIABLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. *LA
