 Description of the problemFirst event, 1/24/14: lost all but 2% power (surged along at ~3mph) with several flashing lights in dash, vehicle limped onto driveway. Restored power by restarting vehicle a few times, warning lites out. Second event, later same day: lost all but 2% power in okc at 70mph and luckily was in the right lane at the time, limped to shoulder. I might not be so lucky next time, this ford problem is a life threatening hazard. Called ford after receiving 13n03 letter in late january. 2/3/14 was informed if i called customer relations number they would be able to put a comment against my vin so a dealer would be able to fix at ford cost. No ecm codes, my cost. Conversation was held with service manager [xxx] at autonation of south fort worth. Third event: 4/23/14: lost all but 2% power with only the wrench light flashing, restarted vehicle and light went out, power restored - checked ecm codes and the code did not store on the computer. Why? Called 4/23 customer relations number 800-392-3673 1-5-4 attempting resolution. Talked to [xxx] who in turn talked to [xxx], service person at autonation of south fort worth. But since the code is not recorded ford will not find an issue - all costs would be my responsibility. So i am left with a daily driver vehicle with a potential loss of life - safety hazard. I drive in heavy traffic, this is a danger to myself, occupants and others on the road. Both [xxx] and [xxx] denied anyone at ford can add comments to vin for parts replaced and i would be responsible for cost of diagnosis of the issue and follow on repair with no codes. I told [xxx] that my driving is sometimes in heavy traffic and this is a life threatening hazard, i also reminded her this conversation is being recorded in fords database. [xxx] did not seem to care. Fix or repair daily > ford is an accurate term for ford products but this is a serious - danger.
