Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VAN WILL SUDDENLY DIE. ALL ALARMS, ENGINE LIGHT, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL. WILL GO OFF. SUDENLY THERE IS NO POWER. VAN WILL START RIGHT BACK UP AND DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD IT AT 7 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, 20-65, ALSO HAPPENS IF STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT OR DRIVE-THRU. ADDITIONALLY, I CAN BE DRIVING AT 25-35MPH AND THE RPM'S WILL SHOOT UP TO 7000 OR FALL ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE YOU ARE IDLEING. VEHICLE MAKES NOISES LIKE IT IS GOING TO BLOW UP AND THEN WILL BE FINE. *TR
