Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A NEW 2016 MUSTANG IN APRIL. I WAS DRIVING UPHILL AT 40 MPH. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF. WHEN THE ENGINE WENT OFF A LARGE WRENCH CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY AND IT SAID SEE MANUAL. I TRIED PRESSING THE START BUTTON BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS COULD EASILY LEAD TO DEATH! IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON THE BELTWAY OR I-95 I COULD GET KILLED. THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT AND ALL THE GAUGES SHOWED NORMAL. NOW I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT; I DON'T WANT TO BE KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE IF THE ENGINE STOPS.
