| Description of the problem | While driving to slow down for a stop the vehicle cuts off. This problem is not a constant problem but only seems to happen every once and awhile. It is hard to steer once the engine is shut off and has been involved in some near accidental collisions. When i contacted a dealer about a week ago and they set me up with the maloy ford service center with an appointment for march 21 2005 but this problem seems to be very dangerous. When asked to bring it in earlier they refused and said i can park it and leave it and they would get to it monday. They would not provide a mode of transportation. I have to drive 40 miles a day back and forth to work so i have to deal with this potentially deadly problem till then.*ak |
