Consumer Description

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT AT THE LIGHT, (I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH) ON 12/24/12 (WITH MY TWO CHILDREN AND HUSBAND IN THE TRUCK) THE VEHICLE BEEPS AND IT DISPLAYS "ENGINE SAFE MODE...LOW OIL PRESSURE" THEN THE POWER STEERING CUTS OFF AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN! I AM FRANTIC AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND CRANK IT UP AGAIN. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED OR IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT SAME DAY I WENT AND GOT MY OIL CHANGE BECAUSE IT WAS OVER DUE. WELL ON 1/4/13 THE SAME THING HAPPENS AS I AM TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MCDONALD'S. I GET THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE AS BEFORE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, AND TRUCK CUTS OFF! THIS SO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE AND SEE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2006 F-150 AND THE EXPEDITION. MY BOTHER-IN-LAW, WHO ALSO HAS A SIMILAR F-150 TO OURS, SAID THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO HIM TWICE. *TR
