Description of the problem	On friday november 4/2016 at approximately 2:00 pm i was traveling west bound on highway 401 in my 2012 ford pick up (vin1ftfx1cfocfc04553) towing a boat when my truck lost all power and stalled. It was all i could do to safely get my vehicle to the shoulder and this was only due to the fact that i was traveling in the right lane at the time. I did not feel safe on the side of the road where i was and tried several times to start the truck and drive up the road to an off ramp to exit the highway but the truck would only start and immediately stall. Apparently, a very tiny spider had been pulled into the mass air sensor and this somehow killed my truck and almost me. How does ford allow a sensor like this to completely shut down a vehicle and what is or has ford done about such a obvious dangerous safety issue here that can clearly cause serious injury or death?
