: the contact stated while driving at various speeds the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealership multiple times. Although, an undetermined number of parts were replaced the stalling continued. After conducting research on the internet the contact determined the problem is with the ignition module. Upon inspection the dealer determined there is no problem with the ignition module.

Everynow and then the 4X4 lights flash, while in 2 wheel drive, windows won't roll upor down. Goes away after a few minutes. Ford replaced ignition, but it still does it. Dealer was a bad dealer and did not know what was causing problem but replaced ignition anyways.

My car stalls continuously on a steady basis - may be going ok and then just stalls and may take up to 30 times to get it to start again - will only go if it is in neutral and I slam the gas pedal - also anti lock brakes skid all the time and I am told there is no problem.

It usually occurs after stopping for a short period of time and then restarting. The dealers service departments have been unable to identify the cause.

Last year my car would shut down. Go from regular RPM to zero and die. This would lock my steering column. I observed that this happened when the outdoor temperature exceeded about 90 degrees F and the car was exposed to sun (more likely to shut down that if I was coming out of a covered garage where the temp was lower, until exposed to the higher outside temp read. The steering column would lock as the ignition shut off whether I was idling in a drive thru lane or existing a freeway ramp where I would expect to go from 55 to 35 to zero at the stop, I would go to zero and bypass 34-1 mph. Just complete system shut down and column lock. I took the care in and they said it was the fuel injectors and paid $500 for who knows what because the problem persisted. It's hot. The problem persists. It's dangerous. Am I placing my family at risk? I already had the aerostar catch fire in the steering column while I was at full freeway speed. I am afraid that a similar defect is at work here. The aero was a manual so I could always rev to keep the RPM up, the explore is auto trans and goes from drive to lock. Please help me.
