| Description of the problem | The vehicle (which only has 30,000 miles on it) will stall at any speed without notice. There is no throttle response and engine idles rough with black smokey emissions. This condition has happened several instances, the worst case being with my wife and child trying to accelerate into traffic and suddenly experiencing a stall/no throttle situation half way into the intersection. The stalling has consistently been remedied by cycling the ignition off and then on again,then its just a matter of 20 to 200 miles and it happens again. The dealer has failed to diagnose the problem and states ford/mercury has no knowledge of a problem. The wrench light illuminates only while problem exists, it does not store a code or remain lit. The dealer has worked closely with us but is at a loss as to what the problem is. This problem needs to be addressed before my family or someone else gets hurt or worse killed. |
