NHTSA Complaint #11255871 — 2017 FORD MUSTANG

ON SATURDAY WHILE CRUISING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH, MY CAR SUDDENLY ENGINE BRAKED AND THEN SHUT OFF. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY MOVE OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CAR NEVER SHUT BACK ON AND NEITHER WERE THE WINDOWS ABLE TO BE ROLLED UP. I HAVE DASH CAM FOOTAGE TO DEMONSTRATE THE EVENT, AS WELL AS ME CRUISING 60MPH IN 6TH GEAR LEADING UP TO THE EVENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE WEEK I BOUGHT IT WITH 8 MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO GET FORD TO BUY IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY REFUSE TO. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THE TRACK AS THE CAR WAS INTENTIONALLY BUILT FOR DUE TO THESE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD A NEW CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, 5 ALTERNATORS, A NEW ECU, 2 AC COMPRESSORS, AND BRAKE SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A CONSISTENT 2-3 MONTHS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. NOW THAT THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME IN ATLANTA (WHERE TRAFFIC IS USUALLY 90MPH-ISH), I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR IS GOING TO PUT ME IN A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND, THIS COULD HAVE EASILY TURNED INTO A DISASTROUS SITUATION, CAUSING A MAJOR BACKUP IN TRAFFIC OR EVEN GETTING HIT BY ONE OF THE VEHICLES.
