Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 50MPH, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND IT ACTUALLY FELT AS IF THE SOMEONE HAD DEPRESSED THE BRAKES. SINCE I HAD NOT HIT THE BRAKES THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT SEE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALMOST RAMMED ME. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY AT SOME POINT BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN. MY CAR THEN STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OUT OF THE WAY. I TRIED STARTING AND IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES IT DID START UP AND DROVE PERFECTLY FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. I SEARCHED RECALLS AND FOUND RECALL 14S17 AND NOTIFIED FORD. THEY SAID IT DOESN'T COVER MY VIN. WHY DOESN'T IT? THIS IS THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND IT LOOKS LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, HURT SOMEONE OR EVEN CAUSE DEATH! MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOV 2012 AND THE RECALL STATES THAT IT COVERS JAN 2012 TO APRIL 2013 BUT NOT MY VEHICLE. WHY???
