Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

ENGINE STALLS! CAR HAS A NEW ALTERNATER AND BATTERY BECAUSE I KEPT RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY TRYING TO START IT. IT HAS ALSO BEEN COMPLETELY TUNED UP AND RUNS FINE UNTIL THIS HAPPENS. THE STALL CAUSES YOU TO STOP PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF THEN BACK ON BEFORE IT WILL START. THAT BACKS UP TRAFFIC AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... PLEASE SEND ME SOMTHING THAT WILL MAKE FORD FIX THIS PROBLEM... THANKS. *AK
