My Contour continues to stall while driving. I was first told by dealer service that it was the fuel pump, then the fuel filter, and finally that it was a sensor.

Was driving vehicle when it suddenly stalled out for no reason. Had no prior warning of any problems. Vehicle can be restarted after waiting for a while. Has taken vehicle to dealership at least 6 times for stalling, but cause of problem could never be located.
Repeated stalling, missing & loss of power appears mostly when it's very hot out & car has been driven a lot. Rough idle even under no load in neutral. No indicators light except during stall which happens even with clutch depressed. Missing is most noticeable during acceleration or steady highway speeds, even with cruise on. Car sometimes shakes at high speed (70mph). Multiple alignments never show same results. Dealer can never duplicate, says I am dumping clutch to stall & loss of power is due to a/c. They also claim excessive tire wear is due to my driving habits. ( dot number: ).
