It dies while I am driving it. It will just shut itself off without any warning anywhere from 15 mph to 65 mph. It's never when I am at a stop, it's always when I am in neutral and still moving. It always starts right back up without any problems. I have taken it to about 5-6 shops and no one can figure it out.
This problem just started a few months ago so I guess seeing all the other complaints I have done well to have it last this long.
I also have the same trunk latch problem everyone else has.
At one point my passenger side window would not roll down from my driver side controls.
My AC went out after having the car about 4 years.
My cougar was shutting off on me also, Ford has a recall on the fuel pump. That might be the problem, you may want to take it to the dealer, they fixed mine at no charge.
This sounds like it could be the camshaft position sensor. A truck at work kept shutting off randomly like you described. We tried everything with the fuel and finally talked to a mechanic who suggested the camshaft position sensor. Wound a new one in, worked like a champ.
