Last Friday, my 06 v8 stalled on me twice. First time when I was taking a wide turn from Rt 80 into Garden State Pkwy and had to abruptly slow down/stop with my wheel turned (so power steering pump was under load if that matters). I quickly shifted to N and restarted with no problems.
Then, when I was backing in to my driveway, wheels straight, foot on the brake going downhill it did it again..
I had a similar issue when the car had 200k miles, and it turned out it was a torque converter staying locked up and stalling the motor. I replace the TC with a Ford unit and all was good for 70k miles. I would not think the "new" TC is already toasted. Is there a solenoid controlling that or that's part of the transmission control module ?
Thanks all.
