Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING MY MUSTANG APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 1 1/2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I EXITED THE INTERSTATE. AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BUT WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT DID RESTART SO I AVOIDED BEING STRUCK. SINCE THEN IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES EVEN WHILE DRIVING ALONG THEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME, THEY REPLACED A O2 SENSOR. THE LAST TWO TIMES THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM.
