Consumer Description

THE FORD V-10 ENGINE ON MY 2006 CLASS C MOTOR HOME HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING WHILE TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS ON 06/20/2014. I LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE MY TRIP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER RV OWNERS, WITH THE SAME ENGINE, HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR
