My 1993 taurus started stalling out in june 2000 causin me to lose the power steering and brakes while driving. It first started with the "check engine light" coming on and then cutting off on the highway at 55mph. It cuts off while driving at any speed/anytime on city streets, highways and at stop signs. It won't start for about 10 minutes after it stalls out. I have even changed fuel at different gas stations thinking it was water or trash in the line but the probem didn't go away. I have had fuel pressure tessts, throttle body work, fuel injection service done several times and the problem still exists. Been to other mechanic shops and diagnostic test run and was told it was the fuel pump or the transmission or no problem found. One of the mechancis told me it sounded like it was the ignition module and suggested I take it to a dealer. In august 2001, I took it to a dealer and had the fuel injection service done, valves replaced and was told that would correct the problem but it didn't. The car was sluggish when I took it to the dealer and it is still sluggish especially when trying to excelerate. August 2001 had a new fuel pump put on and 2 days after that the car stalled out again. Since the new fuel pump has been in place the car has stalled 5 times in traffic. I am very frustrated at having to pay for unnecessary repairs and the problem still exists. There have been some close calls for a terrible accident. Please have this vehicle recalled before a fatality occurs. I don't feel safe in my own car as long as this problem exists.

For the past year my vehicle has been stalling. At first it started in the winter of 2000 occasionally, but when the spring hit. It was stalling all the time. I have taken to my mechanic who has replaced the ignition module, fuel pump ( twice ). Changed the fuel filter and my vehicle is still stalling. I have noticed an article under usatoday.com whereby judge ballachey has ordered ford to replace faulty ignition switches in california. Could this be my prolem? It is very frustrating and a safety issue when the vehicle stalls on the highway..please respond to advise.

My vehicle frequently stalls in traffic. I believed the fuel system was the culprit and replaced the fuel pump, mass air flow sensor (3 times) and cleaned the injectors twice. All at my cost after the warranty expired. The vehicle continues to stall while in motion. I read about the california court case which identified the thick film module as an ignition system part that tends to overheat and cause the ford automobile to stall. This could be my problem but ford has never even suggested such to me. Please recall this vehicle before it stalls again and causes a crash.
