I have a 2007 Ford Freestyle and it has started doing just what you described here. I brought my car to Hub City Ford, Lafayette,LA. 2 days ago. I’ve tried contacting them to see what’s going on and haven’t had a reply yet. I’ve bought my car there and have my car serviced and maintenances there regularly. I’ll see what they say ---

Another thing that seems to cause it is hot daytime weather. I also did a test and found that hitting the gas hard seemed to increase the chances of the engine Stalling but again only at really low speeds or while stopped. I can feel the stall coming usually with the car getting more and more jerky beforehand and the steering wheel, gas and brakes giving me more resistance than usual. ---

The stalling might be due to a faulty Idle Air Control valve. [https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1996,taurus,3.0l+v6+ohv,1138979,fuel+&+air,idle+air+control+(iac)+valve,6072](https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1996,taurus,3.0l+v6+ohv,1138979,fuel+&+air,idle+air+control+(iac)+valve,6072) The IAC valve is what controls the engines idle anytime the accelerator released.
