1998 Ford Contour 4 door sedan bought 10/15/99; since then many incidents of car cutting off suddenly - sometimes only once in months, sometimes several times in one day; many close calls; nearly rear-ended, etc. Frightening to be powerless in traffic. Many repairs tried, computer analysis, electrical check ups only help is to replace idle air control - computer chip with which can go nearly a year without random shut off. Many Contour owners have same problem, which is potentially fatal. Have had 4 shut downs in traffic in last 2 weeks and have another iac - but Ford needs to find permanent solution to deadly error.
