Consumer Description

WE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE TAKING A LEFT TURN ON TO TEXAS 77, WHEN I STARTED THE GAS MOTOR FAILED TO START BUT THE ELECTRIC CARRIED US FORWARD TO THE CENTER LINE. A WARRING CAME UP A TRIANGLE WITH ! TELL US TO STOP BUT OF COURSE WE WERE ON THE CENTER LINE. AN 18 WHEELER WAS COMING FAST BEHIND US AND WAS ABLE TO PASS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AS NO CARS WERE COMING. COULD HAVE BEEN A MAYOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE BUT TOLD BY FORD DEALER THAT THE GAS MOTOR WHICH CYCLES OFF DID NOT START. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.. AS OF TODAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I AN AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH I LIKE IT VERY MUCH. *TR
