Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SAID STOP SAFELY NOW. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND 10 MINUTES LATER THE CAR STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS AGAIN FOR OVER A YEAR. AT THAT TIME I WAS DRIVING IN TUCSON AZ AND IT LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.FORTUNATLY IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT.AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH WE REPLACED THE ELECTRIC COOLING MOTOR ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUE TO SHUT DOWN WITH THE STOP SAFELY NOW DISPLAYED. AFTER MORE RESEARCH WE REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR WITH NO RESULTS. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE DIE. THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING AND IT HAPPENS SO FAST. IF THERE IS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER YOU ARE STUCK IN THE ROAD AND A TARGET FOR OTHER VEHICLES TO RUN INTO. *TR
