#734157 | October 24, 2000

THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED HAVE HAPPENED MORE THAN 10 TIMES WITHIN 2 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 WELL KNOWN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOPS, AND NO ONE CAN LOCATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, THEN THE PROBLEM IS THERE. UNLESS THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE IT'S IN THE SHOP NO ONE CAN SEEM TO LOCATE ANY PROBLEM. BUT, I CAN TELL YOU THAT I CAN ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 25 MILES BEFORE IT STALLS AGAIN. WE THEN HAVE TO REMOVE THE BATTERY AND RECHARGE, AND THE VEHICLE WILL WORK AGAIN. THEN DRIVE FOR ABOUT 25 MILES, AND IT STALLS AGAIN. THIS, AS I SAID, HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES WITHIN 2 MONTHS. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS DURING THIS TIME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, AS NOW I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA FORD RECALL, AND I FEEL LILKE...
