Description of the problem	I was traveling with my three young children to a town approximately 40 miles from our home. I was going about 70 mph on the freeway, and just as i started to exit at an off ramp a warning tone sounded and my dash flashed "stop safely now". I was exiting anyway and there was no where to pull over, so i continued up the ramp. I quickly turned into the nearby parking lot, and just as i quickly pulled into a parking spot the pickup completely died. It was only about 30 seconds from when i was first alerted to a problem to the vehicle completely shutting off. It was pure luck that i was able to find a safe place to pull over that quickly. I just kept thinking about how dangerous that could have been had i not been able to immediately get off the freeway. If i had lost power on the freeway there could have been a terrible accident. We were then completely stranded and had to wait for a tow. Luckily the weather was fair as we would have been unable to use any heat or air conditioning while we waited for what could have been hours for a tow. Not to mention that we live in a very rural area and often times do not have cell service. Also, we frequently are towing our stock trailer loaded with horses or cattle going up and down steep grades. I can only imagine what would happen if the pickup decided to shut off at those times. I was truly shaken up by this incident and the thought of what could have happened if the circumstances had been different. I am pleading with you to prevent certain future tragedy by forcing ford to fix this problem. It's a simple fix (in my case it took the dealer less than an hour) and there is no excuse.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
