Consumer Description

I JUST CAME OUT OF A STATE INSPECTION A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. NOW, IF I HAD ONE FORD I WOULD NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, BUT I HAVE MORE THAN ONE AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. NOW, AT TIMES WHERE THERE'S A RECALL, BUT WHEN THEY HAVE OTHER ITEMS THAT GET FIXED WITHOUT A RECALL, WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT THAT. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON THIS CAR, BUT MY FORD FOCUS, AND IT HAPPENS AFTER A CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE LATELY DURING THE VIRUS WORST FOR SOME REASON. THIS IS A DANGER AND COULD KILL SOMEONE ON A FREEWAY. AS WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ON A RECALL BEFORE. FROM THE DOORS OPENING ON THE FREEWAY TO THIS MESS. FORD NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AT A HIGHER LEVEL. I DO KNOW MY ANTIFREEZE HAS BEEN WATER DOWN AS I FOUND OUT TODAY, UCZ THEIR ORANGE FLUID HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED FOR OVER A YEAR I WAS TOLD.
