Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGH AT 65MPH WHEN A SAFETY ALARM WENT OFF IN THE CAR AND MESSAGE READ "STOP SAFELY NOW". WHICH I DID. CAR HAD DIED BY THEN. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE SWITCH OFF BUT ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO FORD DEALER WHO FAILED TO IDENTIFY ANY ISSUES. IT WORKED WELL FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS, UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO WHEN SAME THING HAPPENED. IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED 3 TIMES, LATEST BEING TODAY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THIS. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO LOSE POWER LIKE THAT MIDSTREAM. PEOPLE BEHIND ME CAN CRASH INTO ME SINCE I HAVE NO PROPULSION. I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH INTERNET AND THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SAME COMPLAINT WITH SAME VEHICLE AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO IT. I HAVE ABOUT 8000K ON THE CAR. I PURCHASED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. *TR
