Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE AND A PUFF OF BLACK SMOKES COMES OUT OF THE EXHAUST. THEN SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPPENS, WE YOU STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE WILL DIE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE HAD IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON FIVE OCCASIONS, THEY HAVE SAID IT IS FIXED, WHEN IT IS NOT. WHEN HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER, THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEMS. THIS LAST TIME, THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THAT THEIR COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM OR WE WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN IT IN.
