Vehicle inconsistently stalls for at low speeds / traffic conditions.
- Wilmington, NC, USA
Vehicle intermittently stalls at slow speeds. I started logging dates and mileage of stalls since September 1998. Dealer has tried several times unsuccessfully to diagnose and correct problem. Informed me in October 8, 1998 letter that they were discontinuing service on my truck. Letter states, "if and when the vehicle begins to exhibit this concern at a frequency that would be considered abnormal by Ford standards, we will be happy to meet with you to discuss our options." What is "abnormal by Ford standards"" when someone dies as a result of this problem"
