Consumer Description

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY FROM A STOP SIGN OR MAKING A TURN ON TO A STREET. SOMETIMES SHUDDERS WHEN I AM ALREADY MOVING BUT TRYING TO SPEED UP WITH TRAFFIC SUCH AS BEING ON A HIGHWAY. ALSO WHEN IM LOW ON GAS BEFORE IT REACHES E IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. NO GAS LIGHT OR SHUDDERING. I HAD CHAMPION FORD IN ERIE PA LOOK INTO THIS BUT THERE WAS NO CODE OR ANYTHING TO GO BY. IM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FRQUENTLY NOW BUT EVERYONE I TALK TO SAYS ITS HARD TO DETERMINE WITHOUT A CODE, BUT WHAT IF MY CONTROL MODULE IS MESSED UP OR SOMETHING? I HAVE 5 KIDS I TRANSPORT EVERYDAY AND WORRIED THAT THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF SOMETHINGS NOT DONE?
