While driving up hill with less than a quarter tank of gas the engine lost. When the accelerator was pressed the vehicle reacted like it was out of gas.
The seal on windshield came off and there was a noise in the front end of the vehicle. The engine stalled, and the vehicle experienced a fuel system problem.
Vehicle stalled for 3-5 seconds in a right hand curve. No check engine lights or other indicators. Called dealership and they have not heard of any other complaints and want to charge me to check the computer in the car. Car has also stalled and died when approaching stop lights but restarted first try. Brakes also make a loud high pitch squeal at all times. I am contacting Ford for assistance. We will see how far I get.
The vehicle began stalling at every stop light or intersection when braking. The owner managed to turn around and drive back to her house. The vehicle has been towed to the nearest dealership for diagnosis.
