Consumer Description

ENGINE CUTS OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I LOSE BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR MORE THAN 3 TIMES BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO STALL OUT. DEALERSHIP INDICATES FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS NOT ABLE TO PRESENTLY REPAIR. VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS WHEN ENGINE QUITS WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE IS NOT PROVIDING RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. ALSO, THERE IS AN ENGINE RATTLE WHICH IS WORSTENING BUT DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS "NORMAL." I AM INTERESTED IN DETERMINING IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND IF SO, HOW MANY AND WHAT HAS FORD DONE ABOUT THIS. *AK
