Ford Taurus 2009 engine stalled while going about 55 mph. Driver restarted car by shifting into neutral and restarting car. This happened a second time a few months later. The third time the car started idling very roughly while stopped at a traffic light. This time, a computer message came up on the message board. The car was taken to a place where the error code could be read. The error was a problem with the camshaft sensor position. Replacing the camshaft sensor appears to have resolved the problem.
While driving with cruise control set at 55mph my engine stalled. Smelled electrical wire burning. Smell went away, so I restarted the engine, and drove on. Took vehicle to dealer, where a tail light harness was discovered to be burned through. Dealer replaced wire harness, and replaced tail light assembly that had also been damaged (melted) by the incident. Vehicle engine has since stalled while in cruise control at highway speeds on two other occasions. Mentioned engine stalling to dealer. Warranty has since expired.
