Description of the problem	I was driving 25 mph and turning left to a small street. I saw an engine light show on, and then the engine stop. At that point, i couldn't turn the wheel, and also it was so difficult for me to stop the vehicle. I had mention this problem at the ford dealer in greenfield, ma who fixed my abs break about two weeks ago. A person at the service responded, " that's normal. Our computer does not see other issue beside the abs." i spend $85 for diagnosis the abs break problem and spend almost $500. 00 to fix the break. I took my vehicle to a small body shop in my area. This person ran the computer through the vehicle system, and the computer did not shown any problems. Then, i called ford corporate and tried to get some advice from the company. The company said i should take the vehicle to a different dealer to get other opinion. Meaning that i have to pay another $85. 00 again, and i still do not know i will get an answer or not. My concern, i do not want to cause an accident.
