Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2 yrs ago truck began not re-starting after engine turned off for approx. 20 minutes. would eventually re-start, 30 minutes to 1 hr later. in april 2002 truck started dying on the freeway and in rush hour traffic 10-60 mph. now it dies whether hot or cold, moving or at stoplight. on freeway this problem is very serious as one must try and make their way to the shoulder before vehicle quits rolling. other cars swerve and blare horns. restarts in various intervals 20 minutes to 2 hrs. hammond ford found no problem (at $100 an hour) swanson ford, los gatos, ca found no problem and said there were no service or recall notes for this problem. (also $100 an hour) have replaced ignition module and fuel pump relay. problem continues. something which helps restart sooner pull out and cool down the fuel pump relay, then plug back in. now even this action does not work 100% of the time. this vehicle is now parked because i am afraid to drive it. dt
