problem #1

Dec 152004

F-150 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 500 miles
2004 F150/5.4 engine quits at low speed. Completely random, may do it several time in one day and than not again for several weeks. I have been involved in several close calls when the vehicle quit at intersections and railroad tracks. Since no odbc codes are ever set, dealer can't seem to find the problem.
