Consumer Description

DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE OF A 3-LANE HIGHWAY I HEARD A LOUD "THUNK" FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT & FELT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, I FELT NO RESPONSE & LOOKED AT THE DASH TO SEE THE WRENCH LIGHT ON. I LOOKED OVER TO MAKE SURE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STILL IN DRIVE, THINKING MAYBE IT HAS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN - NOTHING. VEHICLE HAD A STRONG SHAKING/VIBRATION I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OUT OF TRAFFIC. I SHUT THE CAR OFF & WAS ABLE TO ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT THE WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON AGAIN. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO FORD DEALER TO BE CHECKED BECAUSE "STALLING" ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO EXPERIENCE AGAIN. HOPE THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!! *TR
