Consumer Description

VEHICLE HESITATES OR STALLS OUT WHILE IN MOTION. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME AND THEN THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER. HAVE TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH BOTH. FORD HAS TRIED TO CORRECT THIS BUT ALL ATTEMPTS HAVE FAILED. BOTH CARS ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE ABOUT 54000 MILES. THE CARS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN WITH RECORDERS AND COMPUTER BUT NO CODES COME UP. LATELY, THEY HAVE BEEN HESITATING/STALLING AT LEAST A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK. SOMETIMES THEY STALL WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHILE AT A LIGHT. THE WORST IS WHEN THE LIGHTS ALL COME ON AND THEY HESITATE WHILE MOVING AT 65 MPH WITH AN EIGHT WHEELER OR SUV RIGHT BEHIND. MY WIFE, TWO DAUGHTERS, & I HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION AND IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING. *AK
