Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY ENGINE STALLED. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY INDICATE A LOOSE BATTERY CABLE WAS THE CAUSE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE DEALERSHIP IS LOOKING AGAIN AND HAVE CALLED FORD'S ENGINEERING FOR ADVICE, SINCE THEY HAVE YET TO FIND THE CAUSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF I CANNOT GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE ON THE INTERSTATE. IT DOES START AGAIN ONCE I PULL OVER. *AK
