Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A CROWDED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SWITCHING THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND MOVE FORWARD FOR ABOUT A MILE WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED, I DECIDED THE CAR WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC AND PULLED OVER TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER INDICATES NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. LOSING SPEED IN FAST-MOVING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS; THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY IN THIS CASE. *TR
