2017 FORD TAURUS Engine Problems

Internal water pump failure.. know to happen on the 17 Taurus

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT COMPLTELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING, CAUSING STEERING & BRAKES TO LOOSE POWER, THANKFULLY i WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO TURNING WITH GREAT EFFORT. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART REQUIRED TOWING TO SHOP. AFTER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND UPON RESEARCH FOUND THAT DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE WATER PUMP, WATER WAS MOST LIKELY GOING INTO MY OIL WHICH GOES INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING IT TO CEASE UP @ ONLY 134,000 MILES

I WAS TRAVELLING ON A FREEWAY ~70MPH IN LEFT HAND LANE. WITHOUT WARNING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE PEDAL. AN ORANGE BOX APPEARED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SPEEDOMETER SAYING 'TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK'. I SIGNALED INTENTION TO PULL ONTO LEFT HAND SHOULDER BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND OR FLASHING FROM THE INDICATOR ARROW LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I BRAKED AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. I PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO 'PARK' AND DEPRESSED ENGINE START BUTTON. THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS THEN ILLUMINATED, AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I THEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ENGINE START BUTTON AND THE ENGINE STARTED. ALL CHECK LIGHTS WENT OUT, ENGAGED 'D', WAITED FOR BREAK IN TRAFFIC, INDICATED AND ACCELERATED INTO LEFT HAND LANE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE...

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, WHEN THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 55 MPH THE ENGINE DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. IT STAYED THERE FOR WHAT FELT LIKE 15 OR MORE SECONDS. THE FIRST TIME WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER. IT HAPPENS IN FEBRUARY AS WELL
