 My ford e150, econo van came to a sudden stall when i was driving on high way. once it got stalled, i l don't have steering, power and break control. the van won't start and won't stay idle. or runing, but after like 20 times trying to restart the car, it started running again like normal. the sudden stalling happens more often when i was trying to make turns. each time the engin stops, the check engine light, check tool light, and check gauge light came on. i took it to the dealer to have it serviced, they replaced the air flow sensors and cleaned the engin,...costs about $1,000.00 in less than a week, the van suddenly stalls again. i almost got into an accident with on coming car while i was making a left turn. again, i have no steering control and breaking power. i took the van back to the dealer, and they replaced the electonic throttle body. total replacement of about $500.00 the problem is solved so far, but it was definitely a very scary experience for me. this happend when the car has less than 4 years old and less than 47,000 miles. it is very hard for me to over come the safety concern of the car each time i stepped into this van.

 Throttle sticks and does not fully return to idle. must ride the brakes very hard to stop properly. hove not crashed, but have had near misses. dealer addressed once while under warranty, but will not address repeated problems, now that warranty has expired, without charging $80 diagnostic fee + repairs. second issue.... side door fails to latch properly at the top. i am afraid it may fly open in a crash. dealer has worked on it 5 times and it still does not close properly. refuses to warrant it now. *tr
