Issue feb 2018 - present I bought my 2nd- hand 2007 ford sport trac in february 2018, from the original owner. We had experienced 2 cat-five hurricanes; power and internet was almost nonexistent, so I could not research the truck. On the second day after my purchase, while driving down a street at about 30 MPH, it stalled. I had very little breaks and no steering. When I tried to crank it, it would turn over but not fire. For the last two years, I have had no luck fixing the issue. Upon research, there are hundreds of blogs/ questions / attempts to repair from owners trying to fix the same issue. One blog said that it had been requested for ford to do a recall, but ford denied that there was an issue. It may drive great for 3 weeks and then when you are driving straight down a steep, curvy mountain in traffic, it turns off with no way to stop quickly or control the steering. If you drive too slowly or someone pulls in front of you and drives 5 miles an hour, it will stop. If you punch the gas pedal to get out of the way of a dangerous situation, it will often stall. Sometimes it won't drive, and then it surges forward. It often sounds like the fuel is running rich. You never know when it will happen so you are always in danger. I have changed out the starter switch, shift linkage, just about every sensor, pump, filter, wiring, egr valve, throttlebody' another original owner on island said he's ready to drive his off of a cliff after dealing with this problem for three years. His truck is a 2010 I believe. I checked back with him recently. He changed out his computer system and it is now running properly for the moment. I can't sell my truck bc my ethics won't allow it. I can't trash it bc I need to sell it to buy another. I bought the truck to be safe. It has done nothing but placed me in danger and depleted my wallet.

My car stall intermittently over the last few years. Seems to be when I break. I understand this has been happening with a lot of ford vehicles and should be looked into.

Ford transmission failed at 100,000 miles. Car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection, could not move. A lot of complaints have been filed about ford's poor transmission and surprised there is yet to be a recall about their poor quality transmissions.

Pulling into traffic traction control engages in dry conditions, taking all acceleration power away. Traction indicator on dash lights up, unable to disengage with traction button. Vehicle does not stall, however there is little to no power to accelerate to appropriate driving speed. Brakes also engage anti-lock. There is no warning, except when you commit to accelerating, both instances occurred from a stop sign, about 4 minutes after starting to drive the vehicle.. Vehicle drives fine for roughly 4 minutes, then at a stop light it starts this problem and continues for several seconds, or minutes before going away. In both instances traction control was not needed, both times I would call the traction on the road excellent, meaning I couldn't spin the tires if I tried to.. I was not accelerating heavily, light to moderate acceleration from a stop sign. While it was acting up I would try both, light, heavy and even tap the brakes to try and get the car out of thinking that there is no traction. Very close to having a side impact accident because the vehicle did not give me the power to cross traffic from a stop. Imagine driving on ice, except there is no ice, and are half way in an intersection trying to limp out of the way. Bad feeling. I've lost all confidence crossing traffic at stop signs. Second time incident has happened. After 2-4 minutes car drives normal.
