Pulled away after a stop sign and reach a speed of about 35 - 40 miles an hour when the engine just shut down. There was no warning and I was fortunate that I was able to pull off the road safely. After the engine cooled down I was able to limp home. The next day I took it into the local Ford dealer and was told the mecs cooling pump and fans had failed. I cannot image what would have happened if I had been on a freeway when this happened. This is a very dangerous defect with the Ford hybrid model. To make matters worse, Ford says I am 400 miles past my warranty coverage and it would cost me over $1,200 to fix.
