ON OR ABOUT JULY 15TH 2010 I PURCHASED MY FORD F150 BRAND NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED UNTIL DECEMBER 31ST 2010. HEADING NORTH ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST "SHUT OFF"..DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL 3RD ATTEMPT. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAGE, IT READ 3/4 FULL. THIS DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL JANUARY 3RD, 2011. THE SAME AS BEFORE STALLED WITH FULL TANK OF GAS.THIRD TIME OCCURRED JANUARY 19TH, 2011 WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED STALLED ON HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH FULL TANK OF GAS. STATE TROOPER WITH HIGHWAY PATROL HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC AND PUSH THE TRUCK TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTED THE FULL TANK OF GAS. TOWED TO FORD WHO REFUSED TO FIX THIS VEHICLE CLAIMING THAT THIS DEFECT NEEDED TO REOCCUR WITH A FLIGHT RECORDER ATTACHED TO IT, BUT FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DRIVE IT STATING"IT WAS A LIABILITY TO THEIR BUISNESS AND COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF"...THEY THEN REFUSED TO KEEP IT ANY LONGER AND DELIVERED IT TO OUR HOME WITH THE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT STILL UNTOUCHED! *TR
