Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A TOWN ROAD AND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN THE CAR LOST POWER. ON THE DASHBOARD CAME A MESSAGE "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND AN RED ALERT TRIANGLE CAME ON AS WELL. I HAD TO LET THE CAR ROLL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE CAR TURNED ON OKAY, BUT SOON AFTER A YELLOW ICON OF AN ENGINE CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS EVENT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS LITERALLY DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM A CHECK UP AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. IT'S DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR'S POWER DIE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
