Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL, AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ALL LIT UP. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN I TRIED STARTING UP THE CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP AND SLOWLY MADE IT HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT HAPPEN AGAIN! LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. IMMEDIATELY LOOKED ONLINE DESCRIBING THE ISSUE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS, AND COME TO FIND OUT AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAD I BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THE RESULT COULD HAVE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. IT IS APPALLING THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOW ISSUE AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SAFETY OF IT'S CUSTOMERS. *TR
