| Description of the problem | Stop safely now: when this happens the engine will shut off and you have to roll as far as you can to hopefully get off the highway. I am an experienced mechanic and driver of "not so great running vehicles" as i have test and tune them to see what the issue is to repair them. E. G. No brakes, no power steering, non working fuel pumps... Etc. With that said, i do not think an inexperienced driver of a non working vehicle would do so well in this situation and could end up possibly harming others as a result. I just knew for sure this would be on the recall list for safety issues and to find out ford has issued a recall for "emergency vehicles only". My question is... Who says a personal vehicle is not ever going to be an emergency vehicle for your family, friend or a coworker. Come on ford, if your customers buy a 65,000 truck shouldn't they have the comfort of trusting the vehicle will not strand them dead in the middle of a highway or stop running if they are taking someone to the er... Ford did repair my truck under warranty, but, i think this could have all been avoided if the recall was out for all vehicles with this issue. |
