Consumer Description

I BRAKED TO A STOP AT A BUSY ENTRANCE TO A TRAFFIC ROTARY. TRAFFIC STARTED UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. I SAW A STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE ON THE LEFT HAND DIGITAL DISPLAY. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE OR START AGAIN. HAD TO PUSH CAR OUT OF BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC. STATE OF CHARGE WAS GOOD FOR THE TRIP. PROBLEM WAS NOT EXPLAINED BY DISPLAY. OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS MILD. CAR WAS FLAT-BEDDED TO MY FORD DEALER, WHERE IT STILL SITS TODAY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS IF IT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY, AND I HAD BEEN SURROUNDED WITH TRAFFIC BESIDE ME INSTEAD OF ONLY BEHIND AND IN FRONT.
