NHTSA Complaint #10701287 — 2006 FORD EXPEDITION

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25-30MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. IT WAS TOTALLY OFF AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF A CAR HAD BEEN COMING IT WOULD HAVE HIT US. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT UP AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I DECIDED TO CAREFULLY TRY TO GET HOME. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN, NO WARNING. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP. I MADE IT HOME A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED ON A HIGHWAY BY A CAR RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AND BECOMING UNSTEERABLE. *TR
