| While driving my 2006 ford expedition eddie bauer, the engine completely shuts off. sometimes while sitting idle and other times while driving 70 mph on the interstate. tonight, within 1 hour this happened about 15 times where the engine cut off, i lost power steering, had to roll over to the shoulder, turn the key off and back on to restart...sometimes it would take up to 10 minutes to restart. i was lucky we were not hit from behind. i have 2 kids in carseats still that could have been injured. research online reveals that i am not alone. this is a very dangerous defect that could get somebody killed. *tr | |||
