Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JERKED A LITTLE AND LOST ACCELERATION. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I STOPPED THE CAR, AND CUT IT OFF. I STARTED IT BACK UP, AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. AND EVERYTHING RAN FINE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE. SINCE THEN, THIS BEHAVIOR HAS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP TO LOOK AT IT, BUT WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS SOON AS I CAN AFTER THE SHOP CONFIRMED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC WIRING WITH THE MOTOR. *JB
