3 Ignition problem

Failure Date: 05/12/2000

I bought a 2000 Ford Ranger trailhead in may 2000. Since I drove it off the lot ,it has been stalling whenever I push in the clutch to stop or turn a corner. This only happens when the gastank is at or above 3/4 of a tank. Three times I`ve taken it back to the dealer,and I was told there is a problem with the idle,but they don`t know how to fix it. On the third time picking up my truck,I was told that there was no problem. It stalled 5 times on my way home! I even talked to Ford reps. About it and still haven`t heard a thing back. If I can`t get the dealership or Ford to recognize the stalling problem,what do I do?please help me?.
