NHTSA Complaint #706532 — 1991 FORD TEMPO

THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, ANOTHER TIME IT STALLED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I COME TO A STOP I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN "N" AND GIVE IT GAS THEN PUT IN DRIVE AND FLOOR IT SO IT DOSE NOT STALL. IT ALSO STALLS AS I'M COMING TO A STOP OR I'VE STOPPED AND THEN GIVE IT GAS TO PROCEED. I HAVE HAD SO MANY CLOSE CALLS OF BEING REAR ENDED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I'M VERY LUCKY TO HAVE NOT SUFFERED ANY PERSONAL INJURY HOWEVER, MY NERVES ARE ALWAYS ON EDGE WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. IF I COULD GET RID OF IT I WOULD BUT THAT IS NOT AN OPTION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL FORD DEALERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM OR SAY THERE IS NOT PROBLEM BUT FIX OTHER THINGS, THAT HAVE NOT HELPED. MY SITUATION SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE FORD SUIT REGARDING "STALLING PROBLEMS" THAT I READ ABOUT IN THE DAILY BULLENTIN ON MAY 3, 1999. THIS IS WHY I'M WRITING TO FIANALLY GET SOME HELP FOR A CAR THAT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IF YOU NEED ANY DOCUMENTATION I CAN PROVIDE IT. THANK YOU. A.DAVIS. *AK
