Consumer Description

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND DISPLAYED A "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE ON THE LCD AND A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, NO ELECTRIC DRIVE EITHER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITHIN A MINUTE AND OPERATED NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MERCURY MARINER AND FORD ESCAPE VERSIONS OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION OF THIS ISSUE HERE: HTTP://WWW.GREENHYBRID.COM/DISCUSS/F26/STOP-SAFELY-NOW-11900/ APPARENTLY, MOST OF THESE CASES ARE CAUSED BY FAILING COOLING PUMPS. I JUST DON'T SEE HOW FORD COULD THINK TO PROGRAM A VEHICLE TO JUST SHUT DOWN BECAUSE A COMPONENT WAS OVERHEATING? HOW ABOUT A WARNING LIGHT AND TONE? *TR
