Consumer Description

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SHOWS 'ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE'. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2012 (I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW). IT HAS HAPPENED IN 1) A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT WHILE ON VACATION; 2) IN A PARKING GARAGE AT WORK; 3) IN A STORE PARKING LOT; 4) IN A STORE PARKING LOT; 5) ON A ROAD; 6) IN A STORE PARKING LOT. (#5/#6 JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY TO MY WIFE WHILE SHOPPING WITH OUR 3YR. OLD SON). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, ANYWHERE, WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND OF COURSE THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM - EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS AND RIGHT HERE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. IT SEEMS (FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE) THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND TPS - WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR FOR WHICH I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY (AFTER JUST BUYING NEW TIRES IN ADDITION TO A SEPARATE $500 REPAIR). FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED!! *TR
