ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Fuel gauge says zero miles to empty and will not take any gas more than a few gallons before kicking pump off. Gauge shows it's over heating but if you turn ignition off and turn right back on it resets and is fine. Codes come back saying nothing about fuel or cooling, but only something about speed control in the hub. Sounds like an electrical issue but no where to be found.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND MY NAVIGATOR JUST SHUT OFF. I LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENTS AND IT SAID ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE. I PULLED OVER AS BEST I COULD AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED IT BACK ON. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY ABOUT 3 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME. I READ THE MANUAL AND IT MENTIONED COOLANT. I CHECKED THE COOLANT BUT IT IS COMPLETELY FULL. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS AS IF THERE'S A FLAW. I'VE READ ABOUT HOW PEOPLE TAKE THEIR CARS IN AND HAVE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT GET FIXED. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO FORD BUT I'M WORRIED THAT I'M GOING TO BE CHARGED A LOT OF MONEY AND IT MAY NOT EVEN REPAIR THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE WITH VEHICLES SHUTTING OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR EVEN AFTER I TAKE IT IN TO FORD. IF I'M ABLE TO I WILL UPLOAD MY BILL ONCE I SEE FORD.
