NHTSA Complaint #10194211 — 2003 FORD TAURUS

SAME AS COMPLAINT NO. 10194207 BUT WITH A SECOND VEHICLE. IT HESITATES OR STALLS WITH NO NOTICE OTHER THAN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COMING ON FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN, THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AND AT INTERSECTIONS. CAR CAN BE GOING 60 MPH OR CAN BE AT A STOPLIGHT. HAS BEEN ON FLIGHT RECORDER AND COMPUTER, BUT NO CODES. DIFFERENT FIXES HAVE BEEN TRIED BY FORD, BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAS WORKED FOR VERY LONG. HAD BOTH CARS IN SHOP AGAIN THIS MONTH FOR THE PROBLEM. NO ONE IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM, SO THE TRIAL AND ERROR METHOD HAS BEEN FOR THE MOST RECENT STAYS IN THE SHOP. LEFT ONE OF THE VEHICLES AT FORD FOR ABOUT A WEEK EARLIER THIS MONTH. THE OTHER WAS IN ON AND OFF 2 OR 3 TIMES THIS MONTH. THE HESITATION AND STALLING AND REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED OR COULD BE FIXED, BUT NOW IT IS VERY UNLIKELY WITH TWO CARS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET TO BE FIXED.*AK
