NHTSA Complaint #10903906 — 2006 FORD EXPLORER

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. ALWAYS AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH AND ALWAYS WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF TURNING THE CAR ON. THERE'S NEVER ANY WARNING OR SMELL OR SOUND. DASH GOES BLACK, RADIO CUTS OFF, POWER STEERING FAILS, AND I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT YET HAPPENED AT LIGHTS OR TURNS. MY CAR GUY IS REALLY GOOD AND HE'S AT A LOSS. HE THINKS MAYBE IT'S A SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD A TO BUY A NEW CAR. I'M NOT SURE WHAT MY OTHER OPTIONS ARE.
