While driving vehicle through a rather busy intersection the check engine warning light came on. Within 5 to 10 seconds later my car stalled in the middle of traffic and would not restart. I contacted Ford Motor Company about this problem and they stated that they were unaware of any problems of this type, but said that they would have their engineering department look into this problem. I asked for written confirmation and they said they can't "do that". I don't believe that my problem was an isolated case.

This vehicle was subject of recall for throttle link cable. Ignition/plug cables also failed and had to be replaced. The speedometer/odometer cable that failed failed because of a link. This leads to a question about the overall fitness of cables that Ford is using on this vehicle. I've never before heard of a non-traumatic failure of a speedometer/odometer cable at under 100,000 miles. I am not sure of dates or mileage as submitted. This happened a while ago, and I only saw notification of your website on a public bus this evening (8 Feb). Please investigate and let me know if this is a common problem. I've long since replaced the speedometer/odometer cable and have learned my lesson. Never again will I buy a Ford Motor Company product.
