Description of the problem | I purchased my vehicle on may 15, 2010. The vehicle began to stall almost 1 month later at 2100 miles. I was coming to a stop at a red light when i noticed that my vehicle had lost all power when i began to apply the brake. I took the vehicle into the dealer and they told me that they were not able to replicate the problem and no codes were showing up when diagnosed. After the first time the vehicle stalled on me i started to notice an acceleration problem prior to the vehicle stalling again. It feels like the vehicle is not shifting gears correctly when i'm pressing the gas for acceleration. The vehicle has trouble accelerating properly and i fear that i may get rear ended. When the vehicle stalls it does not give me any warning signs and just looses power. I have to turn off the ignition and turn it back on. The vehicle starts up right away like if nothing happened. Meanwhile i loose power in the middle of the freeway or on the street, fearing that i will get rear ended. The vehicle has stalled on me numerous times and each time i take it into the dealer they are not able to replicate the problem. The dealer placed a flight recorder to monitor the vehicle and they still weren't able to capture anything when the vehicle stalled, so they say. I have contact ford corporation and have notified them of the problem but they are not working to fix the problem. They keep changing me from dealer to dealer and they have not sent out a ford technician as promised to look at the vehicle. This is a huge safety concern that ford is not addressing. I have put in numerous calls to ford corporation and they have not fixed the problem to this day. |
