Description of the problem | While driving the car exhibits an engine high hear and enters safe mode and rapidly decelerating. This happened once and was diagnosed by the dealer as a bad part from a previous recall 17s09. It occurred again just recently and was supposedly repaired (coolant hose problems) and did it again immediately after leaving the dealer service department. In both cases the vehicle was traveling at 50 mph on a busy road and we were lucky to exit the road to a safe area. The original recall was related to engine fires but this is another safety hazard. It is also possible that the recall action by ford is inadequate to correct the condition. |
