Consumer Description

MY 2011 FORD FLEX IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THREE TURBOS BEING REPLACED ON IT'S 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE. OUR VEHICLE WAS AT THE DELERAHIP FOR A MONTH AND WE JUST GOT IT BACK ON THURSDAY. ON SATURDAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT BEGAN SHUTTERING AND JUST DIED. I WAS LEFT POWERLESS IN THE LEFT LANE OF A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO MANUVER ACROSS THREE LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER WITH THREE CHILDREN ON BOARD. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WHILE TURNING THE KEY WHITE SMOKE BILLOWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. VERY STRONG SMELL OF ELECTRICAL BURNING. I THOUGHT IT WA GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE AND HAD THE CHILDREN GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS CAR WITH ENGINE PROBLEMS. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT COURSE OF ACTION I NEED TO TAKE SO THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE DOES NOT CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY.
