Description of the problem	While traveling on a surface street, at approximately 50 mph the engine decelerated very quickly. The dash instrumentation showed "engine fault service now!" the engine was sputtering and shaking as i attempted to accelerate to get over to the shoulder. I did get over safely. My wife and i were very badly shaken. After about 5 minutes i regained my composure enough to try to restart the car. It took about 3 tries to restart. The instruments were back to normal except the check engine light was on. I drove home without incident and turned the car off. A half hour later i tried to start the car and it did it again. The car has been towed to a repair shop. My wife is now afraid to drive this car. We live in arizona. The speed limit is 65 mph. The average speed of cars on the highway is 75 mph just to keep up with the flow of traffic. Not if, but when this happens to a driver travelling at 65 to 70 mph there will be costly repercussions and hopefully no loss of life, but life changing injuries. This car is a death trap. I also have filed a claim in the ongoing ford transmission settlement, vargas v. Ford motor co., case. No. 2:12-cv-08388-ab-ffm. I am sure that you are aware of this case. This car needs to be taken off our streets and highways. I know you will do your due diligence and please, sooner rather than later. I will have documentation when my car has been repaired, so feel free to contact me. When

What is Recall?
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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
