Consumer Description

CAR IS STALLING OUT AT LOW SPEEDS, PARKING LOTS, LIGHTS, DOES'NT MATTER IF IT IS HOT OR COLD OUTSIDE HEATER ON OR OFF, THE LAST TIME IT STALLED OUT I WAS IN A 45 MILE ZONE AND JUST CUT OUT ON ME, I GOT TO THE CENTER TURN LANE AND GOT MY FLASHERS ON, I HAD TO GET IT TO A STOP, THE WORST PART IS NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER IT. I GOT IT IN PARK AND IT FINALLY RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN TO PARKING LOT. IT WAS RAINING AND I COULD SEE A CAR COMING IN BEHIND ME, THANK GOD IT STARTED RIGHT BACKUP AGAIN. THOUGHT I HAD GOT SOME BAD GAS WITH WATER, RAN THE CAR TO ALMOST EMPTY 2 TIMES AND PUT IN GAS TREATMENTS AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE GAS, DIDN'T HELP. I ALSO AM GETTING LOW ENGINE COOLANT EVEN THOUGH I FILL IT EVERY WEEK. THIS STARTED LAST WINTER, I DON'T GET THE WARNING DURING THE SUMMER ONLY WINTER WITH THE HEATER, FORD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS WHEN THEY FOUND A LEAKING HOSE $812 DOLLARS LATER STILL HAVE TO ADD COOLANT AND STILL STALLING OUT ON ME. I MENTIONED THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. FORD MENTIONED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER, THE ONLY THING IS I AM NOT GETTING CHECK ENGINE CODE OR LIGHT, JUST STOPS . TALKED WITH NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SAY IF IT WAS SPARK PLUGS ETC, I WOULD GET A MISFIRE CODE OF SOME KING. CHANGED THE AIR FILTER WHICH IT WAS LONG SINCE I DONE THIS. LOOKING INTO GETTING SPARK PLUGS CHANGED BUT DON'T THINK THAT'S THE PROBLEM SINCE I AM NOT GETTING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THINK SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG
