Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT FREEWAY SPEED, IN COMMUTE TRAFFIC, AND THE POWER SHUT DOWN AND AN ALERT SHOWED ON THE DASH "PULL OVER SAFELY". THERE WAS NO POWER LEFT IN MY ELECTRIC VEHICLE, SO I COASTED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE. CAR WAS TOWED TO FORD, WHERE IT HAS TAKEN OVER 2 WEEKS, AND THEY ARE STATING THE WHOLE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE ONLY 17,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. I "GOOGLED" THE "PULL OVER SAFELY" ALERT, AND HAVE FOUND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR MANY PEOPLE, AND THAT FORD HAD RECALLED OVER 2,000 FORD FOCUS EV CARS, MODEL YEARS 2011-2013, FOR THIS EXACT REASON.
