Description of the problem | While driving car engine suddenly decelerates to a fast rough idle. Car must be pulled to the side of the road , then shut off and restarted to continue driving. This incident has occurred 4 times between 5/6 and 5/15/2013. Car has been in the ford dealers shop for a week now without a fix, seems like the onboard computer does not save the diagnostic data after being shut off. New fords with 1970's computer technology ? I believe this is a safety issue and ford needs to do whatever it takes to fix the problem. |
