problem #1

Feb 182002

Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 127,000 miles
When driving under 10 miles per hour the vehicle will shut off. There is sometimes a warning that this is about to occur because the instrument panel will fail. I experienced this last year and upon replacing the battery (which was less than 1 year old) the problem went away until now. This battery is a 60 month battery and is only 10 months old.
