Consumer Description

ON AT LEAST 8 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ALL OF SUDDEN AND OUT OF THE BLUE IT DISPLAYS A "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEN COMPLETELY LOSES ALL POWER TO THE DRIVETRAIN AS SOON AS IT SLOWS TO DOWN TO APPROX. 5MPH. FORTUNATELY, I'VE NOT BEEN KILLED YET AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE FORD DEALER 2 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN APRIL TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY THERE AGAIN AFTER IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED ON SEPT 24, 2013. IT'S NOW BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. *TR
