 My vehicle was running perfectly and had just been serviced. i was driving with my wife and children in mild conditions when the stop safely now message appeared at the same time the vehicle lost all power and was in a glide. we luckily made it to the side of the road as we were traveling in the number 1 lane furthest from any place to stop. we were nearly killed by a truck trying to get over to the side of the road. this has happened on 3 other occasions in the following months. all instances but one were on the highway. all put me in a very dangerous situation.

 My ford hybrid escape (gas) engine shut down as i was accelerating onto the highway. the drive power was completely lost. the car continued coasting and i got the message stop safely now. i pulled off to the shoulder, stopped and shut off the car. i then restarted the car and it functioned normally. the failure has not happened (after about 100 miles) since the one incident. i have driven the car to a ford dealer for diagnosis. the un-commanded engine shut down without any preliminary warning seems like a hazardous condition that could be life threatening in certain circumstances. *tr
