Engine stalls without warning, causing loss of steering and brakes. Have had the car back to charapp Ford numerious times for same complaint. First time vct solenoid was replaced, second time vct replaced again. This past week was told that they couldn't duplicate the problem. After talking with techician he confirmed the stalling problem. Was told it was a carbon build up and to try driving with gas treatment in car. Stalled twice leaving charapp. Continued stalling 6 times that day. Drove for over two hundred miles and no change. This problem has to be addressed. Peoples lives are at stake! my car stalled while turning into on coming traffic from a stop sign. Luckily I was able to get off the road.

Occasionally, when the vehicle rolls through a puddle, the steering will fail and the battery light will appear, with the engine almost stalling. This has happened with the car going as fast as 35 mph and as slow as 5 mph. The problem has been reported to the dealer on several occasions, and the dealer has reportedly contacted the manufacturer regarding this particular problem. Additionally, the first time the vehicle was taken back to the dealer to report the problem, the service personnel was aware that the problem existed with the specific model. After repeated returns to the dealer (at least three separate complaints), the dealer informed us that the problem was fixed and that the car was even "driven through several puddles" without any steering failure. The last time the vehicle was taken in was approximately August, 1999. The warranty has since expired, and the dealer says that it is our responsibility to pay to have the problem fixed. Unfortunately, we have taken the car back several times, and the problem still exists. On 02/13/00, the vehicle again experienced steering failure.
