Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A HOT (90 DEGREE) DAY IN PHOENIX AZ A RED TRIANGLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID TO STOP IMMEDIATELY, THEN THE ENGINE QUIT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A PLACE TO COAST TO AND STOP. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MILES, THEN IT STOPPED AGAIN. WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING, THE CODE, POA7C CAME UP. (MOTOR ELECTRIC OVERTEMP) THE WATER PUMP FOR COOLING THE ELECTRIC DRIVE MOTOR WAS REPLACED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO BECAUSE OF THE SAME CODE, BUT THE ENGINE DIDN'T QUIT AT THAT TIME. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH FORD HYBRID CARS. I CALLED A FORD DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE.
