Consumer Description

MY FAMILY (ME, WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN) WERE ON OUR WAY HOME FROM A RESTAURANT. WE NORMALLY TAKE THE HIGHWAY BUT DECIDED TO TAKE THE SIDE ROAD HOME AND THANK GOD. DRIVING 45 MPH THE "ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE" CAME ON AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED FINE AND NO WARNING SIGNS.THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED BUT I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS INSIDE THE GARAGE AND I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR AND WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A FATAL FAIL THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 61,408 MILES. I CHECKED THE FORD WEBSITE AND THERE IS NO RECALL. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I'M AFRAID FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WHILE THEY ARE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. *TR
