Consumer Description

I WAS RETURNING TO FLORIDA FROM NEW ORLEANS IN MID FEBRUARY, 2006 WHEN MY CAR STALLED. IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT OUTSIDE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED EXTREMELY HOT, BUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED NO PROBLEM. I WAITED A HALF HOUR AND THE CAR RESTARTED ONLY TO STALL AGAIN AFTER 20 MINUTES OR SO OF DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED THE WHOLE WAY DOWN TO FLORIDA. I SPENT 5 NIGHTS IN MOTELS AND HAD A FORD DEALER IN NORTH FLORIDA SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $200.00 ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I WAITED UNTIL NIGHTFALL WHEN IT WOULD BE COOLER AND MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO TAMPA BEFORE IT STALLED AGAIN. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR LONG DISTANCES (100 MILES OR SO) IN THE FLORIDA SUMMER HEAT. *NM
