| Description of the problem | My 2005 mercury monterey van just stalled without warning on a busy highway. No steering or power brakes worked well. Took it to dealer and they replace the cam crank shaft. Drove it 2-3 weeks and it happened again. Took it to my mechanic and the codes said the same thing as at the dealer. They fixed it again. Drove it 2 months and did the same thing. Sat at the mechanics yard over weekend and cleared the codes. Couldn't find anything wrong. Today with my grandson it happened again. Don't know what to do. This van has 47,000 miles and is very unreliable. I bought it used so warranty is over. Seems as i read how many have had this same thing happen there should be some kind of recall or honor by the ford company. This could end deadly in alot of traffic. Just wonder if we have to wait until someone is killed to do something. |
