2005 Ford Explorer - fuel pump failure while driving vehicle shuts off and also fuel gauge reads e then emission light comes on. This is a safety hazard and a known defect. My vehicle had this to happen at 32,800 miles and I almost was involved in a major highway accident. By my chacks Ford is aware but is not concerned should be a recall.
