Angry F-150 still stalling!!!!

Well the stalling continues!! My truck has 5500 miles on it now and it has been back to the dealer 3 times now. I live near Pittsburgh PA and there is a lemon law here that after 3 attempts trying to fix it for the same problem you may receive a refund or a new vehicle. With 3200 miles on it Ford told my dealer that it was the computer so the dealer put a new computer in it and I thought it was going to be fine but it continues to stall. It is going back tomorrow and if they can not find the problem I am getting a lawyer! This weekend it stalled and I blew half-way through a busy intersection. If there would have been a lot of cars coming I could have been killed or have killed someone else. By the way the first time I took it in Ford told the dealer for me to drive it because it was not broke in yet. What a bunch of crape!! I guess Ford tells all of the consumers that there vehicles may stall out until it brakes in. Well we shall see what happens.

Make sure you report your problems to NHTSA. That way Ford will be forced to issue a recall if the problem is prevalent. I had my F-150 stall so I took it to the dealer to have the PCM reflashed. Since then it hasn't stalled, but I won't deem it cured for about another 6 months without a stall.

NHTSA

Had my truck back to the dealer 2 times this week and they said it was a computer problem again according to Ford. They flashed my computer and now I am driving around with the little black box. I got a lawyer and my lawyer is taking care of it now. Lawyer said that I defiently have a case. This shutting off is a serious problem and I can not beleive that Ford just keeps telling my dealer to try this and that. Well we shall see what happens after this.

One out of a thousand randomly shut off from what I have seen and read. Unofrtunately my 2004 Supercrew 4x4 started doing it the day after I took it home. I took it to the dealer, they diagnoised the truck and found out that the computer was bad so they replaced it and the truck is fine.
If your dealer can't do that for you then go to another dealer, or call me and I will direct you to another dealership that can fix it as I get my monthly paychecks from Ford...
I am sure your attorney told you that you have a case. Most that I have ever dealt with would sue they mother for a $ or $$.

I had my truck almost a week in which time it stalled two times. Both as I was rolling to a stop. Dealer flashed the computer and it has been fine since. That was about 2 1/2 months ago.

Maybe the dealership isn't so hot? Might try another dealer unless you rather deal with the lawyer.
