Consumer Description

HAPPENED 2 - 3 TIMES. ENGINE WILL SPUTTER/DIE AFTER COMING TO NEAR STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC FLOW OR MAKE A TURN THROUGH TRAFFIC ONTO A STREET. CAR WILL START UP AGAIN AFTER PRESSING GAS PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS CAR DIES IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC .I WAS TOLD AT FORD DEALER THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING A VERY EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILE. FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM OR REFUND THE PURCHASE PRICE. *TR
