Consumer Description

THIS CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING IT 3 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2011. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SUMMER ON A WARM DAY WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. IN ALL CASES IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH. IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES 2 YEARS AGO AND ONCE IN JUNE 2015. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HINES PARK FORD ON 7/16/15 AND THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS CAR STOPPING. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AT HINES PARK FORD.
