I was driving on the 495 beltway (approx 55mph) in the right lane when suddenly my car lost power and the fail safe message appeared saying stop the car immediately. Fortunately, I was able to take a nearby exit off the beltway without injuring myself or someone behind me and causing a multiple car collision. A red triangle icon appeared on the dashboard including other lights and messages since the car had no power. I did have the car heater on due to winter temperatures. I immediately turned the car off and rested it and did not put my heat back on suspecting the electronic motor coolant pump as the problem after recently reading a nyt article. The car started about 10 minutes later. I made an appt w my Ford dealer to inspect the car for this problem. I had a similar problem last summer and was told by Ford that my VIN didn't have any recalls. I had the a/c on that day. Unfortunately, the recall for throttles only applies to Ford non-hybrid cars. There has only been a service bulletin to Ford mechanics and no recall for the electronics motor coolant pump. This incident scared me and I feel my car is unsafe to drive esp on interstate highways at high rates of speed until this problem is resolved.

No prior issue -just started to rev up while driving then conked out-in the middle of the road
have had it diagnosed and the transmission is shot- no issue with the transmission fluid-no smell nothing
I basically only drive the care up and down the street I live -not a beltway driver-never drive in snow
since I am second owner - bought when 1 year old- have had 5 years Ford refuses to offer warranty as it is 6 years
also have had repeated issues with a sticking gas pedal- non accelerating -just sticking and having to force it to release by constant pressing on it.
