Consumer Description

TRAVELING ON A MAIN ARTERY, VERY BUSY ROAD, WITH 13 YEAR OLD CHILD IN PASSENGER SEAT. LEFT-MOST DISPLAY SCREEN FLASHES, "STOP SAFELY NOW!" MESSAGE AT THE SAME MOMENT THAT ALL DRIVE POWER IS COMPLETELY CUT OFF. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO AN UNOCCUPIED DRIVEWAY, OTHERWISE WE VERY WELL LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF A MULTI-CAR COLLISION. AND NOW, AM FINDING ON THE INTERNET THAT FORD AND THE NHTSA HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR? I'M HAVING A HARD TIME DETERMINING WHICH ENTITY I'M MORE PISSED OFF AT -- THE PUBLICLY TRADED FOR PROFIT AUTO MAKER, OR THE PUBLICLY FUNDED GOVERNMENT BODY THAT EXISTS WITH ONE SOLE PURPOSE: PROTECTING THE MOTORING PUBLIC'S SAFETY. *TR
