The car stalled on me twice today. The first time it happened, I was traveling on gibson at 45 MPH and made a left turn suddenly car stalled while in gear. I was able to coast to the shoulder, however I could not restart the car. I checked the manual and came across the fuel safety cut off switch located on the front passenger side panel. I pushed the reset button and was able start the car. Second time, I was approaching a traffic light the car stalled on me again. I pushed the reset button again, and started the car. At this point I am not sure what is happening to my car, and I don't want to be on the freeway at high speeds when it suddenly happens again. It appears to me that the fuel flow is being suddenly cut off to the engine.

Car accelerated as I tried to stop. Then when I tried to go, I pressed the gas and it would not go but the RPM's went really high. Then the car died and I had to wait a few minutes to turn it back on. 2nd incident- I was driving on a busy road during rush hour and tried to stop at a stop light but the car accelerated so I had to keep breaking but the car would not stop accelerating so I turned the car off. When I tried to turn the car back on, nothing worked (had no power at all therefore I could not turn on my hazards to signal to people that my car was stalled). I waited then tried to turn it on again and it turned on but was still accelerating only I was in park so it did not go anywhere. I turned the engine off but did not turn the car off so I could turn hazards on. I waited several minutes then tried again and was able to pull off the road.

I was driving down the interstate for about 50 miles and exited at an off ramp. At the end of the ramp, my 2005 mercury mariner stalled causing loss of control.. My mariner would crank, but would stall once engaged into forward gear. I was able to keep the vehicle from stalling by idling at high rate in neutral only. My vehicle stalls once placed into gear and coming to a stop at periodic times. I learned that ford motor company produced technical service bulletins on this issue, but did not notify me or other owners of the defect with mariners from '05-'08 equipped w/ a cd4e automatic trans axle built from 8/01/04-2/15/07. I contacted ford and discovered that ford does not notify owners of defects through service bulletins. Ford refuses to rectify issue.

I was driving down the interstate for 45 miles and exited at an off ramp. At the end of the ramp, my car stalled almost causing a crash. My car would crank, but would continue to stall once engaged into gear. I can keep the vehicle from stalling by mashing the accelerator, revving the RPM's. Ever since then my vehicle has continued to stall once placed into gear and coming to a stop at periodic times. I find my vehicle unsafe to drive, due to it happening out of nowhere and at intersections. I had a friend of mine in the automobile industry look at my vehicle and into the situation, and he has found that ford has had numerous issues as far back as '07 with escapes and mariners from '05-'08 equipped w/ a cd4e automatic trans axle and built from 8/01/04-2/15/07. Ford has enacted service procedures for correcting the problem dated 3/01/2007.

2005 mercury mariner. Sudden stalling of engine at speeds up to 40mph and loss of power (then recovers) at higher speeds. Notified ford and scheduled for service twice - dealer unable to replicate and ford response is that "every consideration has been given to the matter....unable to further review concern" we have yet another service call scheduled with another dealer because problem persists and could lead to serious accident in traffic. Problem manifested itself in july 2008 and no regular consistent pattern to it but happening more often and stalls happening more often. Afraid to drive vehicle in heavy northern va traffic due to its unpredictable stalling and/or loss of power. Reporting in case to be on record, in case other complaints filed about this issue with this model ,and for future reference in the event ford unable or unwilling to fix a serious safety issue.
