Description of the problem	I have a 2002 ford t-bird with approx 60k milies, original owner. I've had three coils replaced at my expense. On 25 aug 2011, while diving in the fast lane (three lanes) at approx 60 mph, the engine suddenly quit, causing a loss of brakes and steering. I was fortunate to be able to muscle the car into the break down lane and stop. The car started without issue after putting it in park. *tt
