Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have recently contacted ford about this problem and i was told that there was no problem. my friend has a 1988 mustang, who has had the same problem numerous times. i am an electrical engineer and know that this problem is the result of a bad design (i.e. the ignition control module gets too hot, which causes the transistors to function improperly). this is a real problem and i hope it doesn't take many lives to figure this out. thank you, josh shaw
