I really need this problem resolved its very dangerous I recently saw a recall section in the newspapers with this problem similar to mine something about a tfi switch or something having to do with the vehicles stalling well I bought my car with a 2 month warranty an have since had the transmission checked and ive taken it to the Ford dealer several times trying to have them diagnose the problem first they said they could find nothing wrong with it then I asked them to please try and diagnose the problem then they ended up saying it was the tfi switch or something so they replaced that but that wasnt the problem this is still happeing so did I pay for something I didnt need but thats not the issue the issue is this car
