As i was driving on the hwy, the car would not accelerate and died, except the power was still on. I was unable to accelerate and had to put my flashers on and pull over, although this hwy doesn't have a shoulder, just a grass median. There is a curb so i was still forced to just come to a stop in the middle of the hwy but luckily i was able to get in the left lane. As the car comes to a stop, it shakes. I have to…

I was going down the freeway at approximately 65 mph, and out of nowhere my car lost power and began to decrease speed. I tried to press the accelerator and there was no response. I pulled to the side of the road and put the car in park and it was very rough idling. I turned off the car, waited a few seconds and turned the car back on and it seemed fine. Now this has happened to me at least 20 times in the last few…

Engine appeared to cut out at 2 different instances today. First time was when turning right out of the neighborhood and the 2nd time was when merging with traffic. In both cases, the car lost all power and did not seem to even coast well. I had a blinking wrench on the dash and was lucky to have not been in an accident. Car was able to restart after pulling to the side of the road and putting it into park. This has…

While driving on at least 6 occasions, vehicle stopped propulsing and had no throttle. A code appeared indicating a throttle/ transmission problem. I contacted ford, and they indicated this is a known issue with my make and model, and not covered under warranty. After researching this online there are so many problems, the part has been back-ordered months at a time, more than once. This problem has been noted in…

I was driving in the right lane of a major, heavily traveled (with many tractor trailers), divided highway, traveling at a speed of between 55 and 60 mph. All of a sudden, without warning, the engine seemed to shut down. I could not accelerate; the engine would not respond. This was a very scary situation as trucks and cars had to break, while i steered the car to the narrow shoulder. The car didn't seem to lose…
