Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, AND SUDDENLY, THE "STOP SAFELY" LIGHT CAME. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR STARTED AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, BUT IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN A COUPLE MINUTES LATER. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THAT DAY, WITH TODAY BEING THE MOST RECENT. I CALLED FORD MOTORS TODAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL LIST. THEY NEVER SENT A LETTER TO ME. THE REPRESENTATIVE REFERRED ME TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA, AND ADVISED ME THAT ANY REPAIRS WILL BE FREE OF CHARGE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD MOTORS WOULD PROGRAM THIS VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING TRAVEL. GOD FORBID IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SO CALLED "SAFETY FEATURE", WHICH NEEDS TO BE DISCONTINUED IN THE FUTURE.
