| Description of the problem | I was on the interstate going 70 miles an hour and the engine just quit this was the second time it had happened the first time i had my grandaughter and 2 great grandchildren in the car with me and was going 60 miles an hour and the engine just stopped could not give it gas pulled over to the side of the road and shut the car off and started it back up and made it home. The second time i was on the interstate going 70 miles and hour again had to pull over to the side stop vehicle and restart, thank god i was not in the traffic at columbia missouri in the traffic while taking my grandaughter to the doctor. The third time it happened i was taking my daughter to columbia to the doctor and again it quit while going 70 miles an hour had to pull off the busy highway and stop the car. It happened a 4th time on my husband while taking my daughter to the hospital on his way to columbia this is within 5 weeks so it is happening about one time a week both our daughter and grandaughter will be making regular trips to the hospital and i also travel a lot with the grand children who are 4 years old and 6 months old they are in this vehicle daily, and it scares me that i may not be able to get out of the way when going at these speeds and what if i'm passing another car and it just dies and i can't get out of the way? Ford motors is aware of this problem why not fix it, before someone gets killed, we take drunk driver off the road, but this is just as dangerous. For safety do i need to just park it in garage, our golf cart is more dependable, should i just park this vehicle which i just purchased i can't afford another one we are both retired we have 2 ford vehicles at this time and drove our last ford truck for over 10 years. |
