Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SHOW A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES (TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK) ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS LIMITED. I CAN START THE CAR AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT HAS MANY COMPLAINTS. I'M LUCKY NO ONE HAS CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF ME. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST FORD.
