| Description of the problem | I was driving my '07 mariner hybrid on the nj turnpike at freeway speeds when the red triangle & message "stop safely now" appeared on the dash. The propulsion system stopped and i was able to navigate off to the shoulder and bring the vehicle to a safe stop. Having an immediate loss of power while traveling on the turnpike was very scary and i felt unsafe knowing that i didn't have any options but to exit the freeway immediately. This could have resulted in an accident. After letting the system sit for about 20-minutes i started the vehicle and resumed my travel. Same error message and loss of propulsion happened again, and this time i navigated the hybrid to a ford dealer in nj. It's very scary to be traveling at highway speeds and then a second later not have any propulsion. This could be handled much better and i recommend the engine continue to perform so that i can safely exit the freeway with more time. *js |
