| While driving on the highway at 70 mph my car cuts off. i merge to the side of the road and after a few minutes it restarts. i put it in drive and continue driving. the next morning it does the same thing. when it looses power the wrench light, check engine light, and traction control lights come on and it says service advancetrac in the service bar on the dash panel. i have taken it to ford several times and there are no codes stored for them to go by. they made me a new key and stated they thought it was my key going bad. i am sure that it is something more as it has done it again even with the new key. there is definitely something going on with the throttle bodies on these cars. it is very scary and unsafe when the car loses power in rush hour traffic. i have 3 children that i transport in this car everyday. i honestly hope ford investigates this and fixes the problem. i also had the problem with the lug nuts and wheel studs snapping off. there is a recall for that but i was told my car did not fall under that recall even though it was having the same issues? this is the first ford i have ever owned and i will never buy another one. not just the quality of the vehicle, but the tech's at the shops don't know anything, and ford does not stand behind their products!! *tr | |||
