Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY THIS AFTERNOON MY CAR SUDDENLY JOLTED TO A STOP WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON A MAJOR US HIGHWAY. THE CAR FLASHED A "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE ON MY DASH AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE END OF THE EXIT AS I GET OFF ON A LEFT HANDED EXIT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM READING SEVERAL POSTS ONLINE I HAVE LEARNED I AM NOT THE FIRST. FORD SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR FIXING/DIAGNOSING THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *TR
