NHTSA Complaint #10500639 — 2006 FORD EXPEDITION

ON 1/9/2013, I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED ITSELF OFF. I ATTEMPTED RESTARTING THE ENGINE TO NO AVAIL. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE STILL WOULD NOT START. AFTER WAITING ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN SLOWLY ON THE WAY BACK HOME. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE CAR, IT SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY. ON 2/12/2013, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 25 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN. SHE HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD & WAIT TO RESTART THE CAR. SHE SLOWLY DROVE BACK HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. NEXT TIME THE CAR WAS TAKEN OUT, IT RAN NORMALLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD OCCUR ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AT A HIGHER SPEED & THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN VASTLY DIFFERENT. *TR
