Incident: June 12, 2012 · Filed: April 30, 2015

BOUGHT THE VAN USED IN JUNE 2012 WITH 139000 MILES ON IT. THE VAN STARTED TO STALLS WITHOUT WARNING RIGHT AWAY. AT A STOP MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MILES PER HOUR. HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP HOPING NOT TO GET HIT BY TRAFFIC. WAIT ATLEAST 30 SECONDS THEN THE VAN WILL START AGAIN. THE USED CAR DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR IT AND THOUGHT THEY HAD BUT STILL STALLS. HAVE HAD THE VAN INTO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING THE FORD DEALERSHIP. NOTHING COMES UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THE CONDITION IS WORSEN IN WARM WEATHER. HAVE COME CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. PLEASE HELP. THIS CONDITION NEEDS TO FIXED EVEN IF IT DOESN'T SUPPORT A RECALL. *TR
