Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS, WITH ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE STALLING OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BRAKING, OR SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME, CAUSING THEM TO HAVE TO HIT THEIR BRAKES AND STOP AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT TOOK THEM A DAY AND A HALF TO DIAGNOSE THAT IT WAS AN EVAPORATIVE PURGE VALVE THAT WAS STICKING OPEN. THE REPAIR COST CAME TO $629.97, PLUS $68.86 FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE VEHICLE RAN FOR ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT IS NOW STALLING AGAIN WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE.
