Consumer Description

2007 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID. DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES OUTSIDE THE CITY GOING 65 MPH. CAR SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF AND SAYS "STOP SAFELY NOW". I LOSE ACCELERATION AND ALL I CAN DO IS BREAK AND PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURN OFF MY CAR, RESTART IT AND IT WORKS AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES THAT DAY. I DID CHANGE THE AIR-FILTER A DAY EARLIER BUT COULD HAVE BEEN A COINCIDENCE. ONE OF THE TIMES IT STOPPED, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I AM ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT CUTS OFF AGAIN AT ABOUT 30-40 MPH. CARS ARE BEHIND ME AND HONK AND I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO BUT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SLIGHTLY, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND TURN IT BACK ON. VERY SCARY. *TR
