Description of the problem | This first started several weeks one day after filling up my car all of sudden it would not go. I pulled over barely missing being hit. I turned the car off for a few minutes and it would start up and i could go. This didn't happen again for a couple of weeks. The next time i was low on gas. It happened two more times. I kept thinking i had bad gas. Then last saturday i was out shopping and it happened numerous times. I was so scared by the time i went home i was a nervous wreck. I can't tell you how many times i was almost hit. Even the morning i took it into the car dealer it died four times on the way. My car acted just like the situations in your article. Now the dealership at ford is making me rent a car. I can't drive mine. Ford is saying they don't know if it is a week or a month before they get these parts in. They can't fix my car because there is such a big back order for this part. Somebody needs to get these motels recalled and get them fixed. |
