Consumer Description

I WAS CRUISING AT ABOUT 35-40MPH ON CITY STREET. SUDDENLY THE MOTOR PRACTICALLY QUIT. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MPH. THE "STABILITY CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME ON THAT 9:20 PM SUNDAY 7/24. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED AFTER DOING WHAT THE MANUAL ADVISED: TURN OFF THE MOTOR, RESTART (AFTER A FEW MINUTE AT LEAST, I FOUND OUT). THE NEXT MORNING AND AFTER STARTING THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD FORD DEALERSHIP CHECK THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING.
