Description of the problem | For the first time the engine completely shut off while driving, i was turning left onto my mother's street, going approximately 20/25 mph. There was no warning, the vehicle just shut off while driving. I was able to turn the car off, put the vehicle in park, and restart the car without a problem. It happened again about 4 weeks later and again, i was going slow as i was in my parking garage at work, approximately 15/20 mph when my car shut off while driving without any warning signs. I put the car in park, restarted and started driving again. As i was approaching another level in the parking garage, the same thing happened-the car shut off. I was able to put it in park and start driving. This is a huge safety issue as cars have almost rear ended me and i drive with my 2 young sons in the car. Previous to these incidences i took my car to ford for recalls regarding the throttle body, which can apparently cause this problem to occur. |
