Consumer Description

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE RPMS GO WAY DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESS THE GAS, I CAN NOT GET CAR TO GO. I'VE HAD IT TO THE GARAGE SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED AIR COOLANT PARTS, AIR FILTER, AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS. CAR CONTINUES TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. FORD DEALERSHIP I TALKED WITH SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON SUCH A THING. THEY DID OFFER TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT WHY? NOTHING CAME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS TEST WITH OTHER GARAGE. FORD COMPANY- THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AS THE CAR DID THIS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MAYBE THE ANTIFREEZE LEAKING, THIS LIMP MODE, AND OTHERS HAVING THEIR CARS STALL COMPLETELY IS ALL ONE PROBLEM?? I'M HOPING YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM! AT LEAST TELL US HOW TO FIX IT BEFORE WE NEED A NEW ENGINE, WHICH IT SOUND LIKE THAT IS WHAT OTHERS HAVE HAD TO DO.
