Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING SUV UP STEEP GRADE, IT STARTED TO SPUTTER. WHEN CROSSIING 4 LANE HIGHWAY, IT STALLED AND THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON. RESTARTED AND CONTINUED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL START / STALLS IT QUIT COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TOOK TO NEAREST (WAS 2 HOURS FROM HOME) FORD DEALERSHIP AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AFTER IT FINALLY WOULD START. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS SUV AT ALL. I HAVE TO 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND AM AFRAID TO TAKE ANOTHER VACATION IN IT!*AK
