WHILE TRAVELING ON I80 (ABOUT 30 MILES TO SUGAR BOWL SKI RESORT), THE GAS ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ABOUT 60 MPH. THERE WAS A RED TRIANGLE LIGHT AND "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE RIGHT MOST LANE AND I COULD PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID INCOMING TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE MOTOR ELECTRONICS COOLING SYSTEM WAS FAILING. FORD IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PART FAILING FREQUENTLY AND FORD HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR IT: TSB 08-24-5. *TR
