ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
AFTER DRIVING FROM SOME TIME DURING HOT WEATHER, AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH SLOW SPEEDS, THE ENGINE LOSES POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL 1/2 TO 1 HOURS COOLDOWN TIME HAD PASSED. I BELEIVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE TFI MODULE. MY FAMILY, INCLUDING 2 CHILDREN, WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE TURNING LANE IN BUSY TRAFFIC DUE TO THIS FAULTY MODULE. THIS OCCURED TWICE DURING OUR VACATION IN JUNE, BOTH DRIVING TO AND RETURNING FROM SUNRIVER, OREGON. I HAVE NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THEY HAVE RESPONDED BY SIMPLY SAYING THAT THE GOVERNEMENT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL DUE TO THIS ITEM. I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISED YOU THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED.*AK
