Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Driving at highway speeds, vehicle suddenly shut down and displayed a "stop safely now" message on the lcd and a warning light on the dash. The engine just shut off completely, no electric drive either. Extremely dangerous condition. This happened twice. Vehicle restarted within a minute and operated normally for about 30 minutes. This is a common problem with the mercury mariner and ford escape versions of this vehicle. There is extensive documentation of this issue here: http://www. Greenhybrid. Com/discuss/f26/stop-safely-now-11900/ apparently, most of these cases are caused by failing cooling pumps. I just don't see how ford could think to program a vehicle to just shut down because a component was overheating? How about a warning light and tone? |
