| Description of the problem | My 22 year old daughter was driving my 2007 mercury mariner hybrid back to college after spring break at home. She was traveling at 75 mph in the fast lane and the engine just quit. She had been driving for several hours at freeway speed. The "stop safely" light comes on and she was able to get to the right shoulder on electric power. Very scary! She waited 10 minutes and it fired back up and she was able to continue on to school another half hour. But she is now unsure when and if it will happen again. I purchased the vehicle used four years ago and it now has 70,000 miles. I just googled the issue and it seems to be a common problem. I think this should be a recall issue. |
