What owners report
THE VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH A SEVERE STAGGER ON TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. THE PROBLEM OCCURS FAIRLY INFREQUENTLY, BUT WHEN IT DOES OCCUR IT CAN PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING FOR UP TO A BLOCK IN DISTANCE. DURING THIS TIME THE VEHICLE ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO DIE AND WILL ONLY TRAVEL 2 - 5 MILES PER HOUR. EVENTUALLY, IT WILL RESUME ACCELERATION AND DRIVE NORMALLY. HOWEVER, IT IS A SEVERE DANGER TO THE VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS SINCE THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN PULLING OUT TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT OR EVEN GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT, WHICH MIGHT TURN RED BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN DALLAS, OREG
