| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have to drive through as many as 15 red lights, and i have to drive through these lights at a rate of 5 times a week. several of these red lights are located in high traffic areas. my car has stalled/died during idling over 50 times and counting. usually when it is warm weather and the car is idling and heated up to a normal temperature. its random based, in the summer could be 10-20 stops before it stalls and dies, usually when i start to accelerate when the light turns green. i replaced all the electrical equiptment and egr parts, and the problem still occured. diagnostic equiptment shows no problems. i did not learn about this hidden defect until the news media announced major lawsuits against ford for this hidden problem, which matches my symptoms exactly. it is a shame that ford knew about this problem and did not put out any service advisories, and in fact, disclaimed this problem! i invited the ford people to come ride in the car since they claim the car is safe. it is not fun and safe for an 18-wheeler to have to stop at a green-light when i am stalled and trying to start my ford tempo!!!*ak |
