| Description of the problem | My family and i were driving on the highway at 70ish mph, and all of a sudden, it was like the car went into neutral, had zero power at all. We tried to coast to the side of the road, and ended up getting ran off the road and into a ditch due to heavy traffic and heavy rain at the time it failed. We are ok, no one was injured, but i am highly upset at the ford motor company. My wife said she was so glad i was driving when it happened, because she felt she would have lost control and had a severe wreck. Our 2 year old daughter was with us when this happened =-( |
