On or about 4/21/05 I was driving my 2001 Ford F-150 taking my son and nephew to school. As I made a right turn at the school my engine stalled. I lost all stering control and had just enough brake power to slow the vehicle. I put the truck in neutral and started the truck. I took it to my local Ford dealer and they replaced the air intake control valve. About 2 weeks later at the exact same spot and time the engine again stalled on me. Again, I lost all stering and had just enough brakes to slow so I could put the truck in neutral and start the engine. My Ford dealer is telling me they can not find the problem with it and stated I could pick the truck up and drive it if I wanted to. Not wanting to have myself or my family killed in a car crash I told them no and that they needed to fix the truck. They agreed to try and fix the truck. I understand that you may not be able to help me with this next issue but if you can I would appreciate it. While they try to find the problem with my truck they have the right to keep my truck for 30 days and I would have to rent a car. At $20 per day for 30 days that would cost me $600. I can not afford this as Ford refuses to lend me a car. Thank you. Robert r. Hernandez.
Engine stalls intermittently during normal operation while traveling at any speed. Dealership has been unable to reproduce problem and identify the cause. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Vehicle "dogs" down (loss of power) when turning right. Only when your turning a corner at low speed does the engine stall. Numerous complaints and replaced parts have not fixed the situation.
