Consumer Description

PULLED AWAY AFTER A STOP SIGN AND REACH A SPEED OF ABOUT 35 - 40 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. AFTER THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN I WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE MECS COOLING PUMP AND FANS HAD FAILED. I CANNOT IMAGE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON A FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH THE FORD HYBRID MODEL. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, FORD SAYS I AM 400 MILES PAST MY WARRANTY COVERAGE AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $1,200 TO FIX. *JS
