Description of the problem	I purchased an 04 lincoln aviator in dec. 2006, in aug. 2007 i noticed it was not running right. It was stalling when accelerating or decelerating. It would sputter like it was out of fuel. The problem worsened for the next 6 wks. No mechanic could tell me what was wrong because the engine light had not come on. In oct. 2007, i was driving on the interstate when my car lost all power for a split second. I took it to the mechanic who could not tell me what was wrong still. Then my check engine light came on and i was told it was a coil pack. I had that replaced and 2 days later, the problem started again. I went to my mechanic who told me to take the car to ford, because a car with that few miles should not be having engine trouble. I took it to ford who told me it was another coil pack. I searched the internet and found that there was a voluntary service recall issued for the coil packs on this vehicle for up to 120,000 miles. I told ford of this and the repairs were covered. I asked them to replace the remaining 6 coil packs, they said they could only do it as they went bad. They said that it would not break down, it would just run bad. 08/28/08 the engine light came on while driving and i lost all power driving 60mph down the highway. I lot my steering and breaks. It took all the strength i had to maneuver the car off the road. Once the vehicle slowed, it was not stopping (on a hill), i had to use the e break to stop it. I took it to ford who replaced 2 more coil packs. I contacted the manufacture ford to make them aware of the problem and to try to work something out. I decided i did not want to be driving around a death mobile. They would do nothing for me, except replace the parts as they go bad. I still have 4 bad coil packs & 4 more chances to avoid injury over an undefined time period. Ford is knowingly & willingly putting my family at risk in this vehicle, that they know could break down at any minute.
