Description of the problem | My family was traveling 75-80 mph along i-95 on the way home friday night when all of a sudden all the lights flashed on the dash and power gave out. We quickly moved into the emergency lane (we were lucky we were able to get over considering we had an 18 wheeler behind us) and came to a stop. When we put the car in park the dash lights went off and the power came back. We were unable to get the car up to speed therefore we drove the emergency lane until the next exit where we could get on 301 until we got home. I called the dealer where we brought the car the next morning and my car is still there today (tuesday). I've read how ford doesn't think this is a safety issue.. But let me tell you, not only myself and husband but having my 1 year old son in the back and driving 75 mph and then with no warning the power gives out it definitely is! |
