Description of the problem	On interstate going 70mph with cruise control on when instantly engine started racing then immediately stopped. The engine was still on but the van would not move. We had to push it out of the highway. The engine would start, but it would not engage into any gear. It went from cruising at 70mph to a dead stop, without any warning, within seconds. We had five children in a van with us..... We could have all been killed. We have since found out that many similar complaints have been made on this type of vehicle, however, ford has not warned anyone.
