Consumer Description
THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED A MONTH AGO. AS I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR'S ENGINE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND WRENCH (THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION) LIGHT CAME ON. I ROLLED TO A STOP AT THE CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION, AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. IN PARK, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE SO, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER A MINUTE I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE AFTERWARDS WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF I SHOULD HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD NO SINCE THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. TODAY(5/22/13), THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS GOING 50 MPH AND HAD TO PULL PROMPTLY TO SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE UNSUSPECTING DRIVER BEHIND ME. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GO A FEW FEET BEFORE THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I AGAIN PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON MY DRIVE HOME. I AM HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND GET TO THE SHOULDER, LUCKILY NEVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##
