Consumer Description

WHEN THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE ELECTRICAL HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM, THE VEHICLE CUTS POWER COMPLETELY TO THE ENGINE. IT SIMPLY FLASHES A "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE. HAVING TO POTENTIALLY CUT ACROSS 4 LANES OF FREEWAY TRAFFIC WITHOUT POWER IS VERY DANGEROUS. I NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS. IF THE HYBRID SYSTEM HAS A FAULT, IT SHOULD STILL KEEP THE GAS ENGINE OPERATIONAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE FAULT IS VERY INTERMITTENT, AND MY FORD FACTORY MECHANIC COULD NOT TRACK DOWN ANY DEFINITE CAUSE. *TR
