Consumer Description

MY 16 YR OLD SON WAS DRIVING AND THE SPEED GAUGE STARTED READING 90 THEN 60 THEN 100 ALSO THE TEMP GAUGE WENT INTO THE RED. HE PANICKED THAT CAR WAS GOING TO BLOW UP AND PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TO CALL TO SEE WHAT HE SHOULD DO. I FIND THIS TO BE VERY UNSAFE IN BOTH ASPECTS OF NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND ALSO THE FACT OF HIM BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, THIS DIFFERENTLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A MAJOR ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THIS AND OFFER A CORRECTION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
