Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ENGINE STALLS. NO LIGHTS, NO WARNING, IF GAS IS NOT ACCELERATED I HAVE LOST ENGINE 4 TIMES. 3 TIMES IT WOULDN'T START WHILE PARKED, AND 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY, NO WARNING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO DEALER AND LEFT IT THERE, HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL IF I LET OFF THE GAS IN ORDER TO REV ENGINE TO KEEP FROM STALLING A 5TH TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE DEALER (FAIR OAKS FORD, NAPERVILLE, IL) IS TELLING ME THERE ARE NO 'CODES' SHOWING ANYTHING IS WRONG. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS 7,000 MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUES, THUS FAR TO NO AVAIL. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. IT'S UNSAFE AND THERE IS NO REMEDY. *TR
