Description of the problem	Engine stalls while driving, unable to restart without dealer. Anti lock brake indicator comes on along with engine light, skid control light, doors unlock and lock while driving. Brakes lock up and spin the car out of control when driving; power steering becomes manual at times along with the power brakes not having power as well. Two dealers have had 4 different advisors look at my vehicle and they simply state they don't know what is causing the problems. Transmission jerked and stayed in 4th gear revving motor very high while driving. Recently ac is intermittently working and just last sunday again was unable to start car. Vehicle has been towed four times to the ford dealers for repair on the same electrical problems. The vehicle has been in the dealers repair shop more than eleven times for the same electrical problems. My service writer warned me the last time i picked it up "parker, do not drive you car as it is dangerous and a hazard to everyone on the road." the dealer will not do anything as far as taking it back and putting me into another vehicle. These problems were evident through the oasis report that was provided to me after i bought the vehicle. The was a warning that the transmission computer needed to be worked on before it was sold. It was not! The dealer or ford motor complaint 800 number states it is my vehicle and to deal with it. These problems have continually occurred threatening the safety of me and my family as well as others on the highway. I purchased this vehicle in march 2007 as a "cpo" vehicle but have realized now that means absolutely nothing to the dealers once it is sold. Can you please help me? All these matters have occurred from mar 2007 through present.
