I was driving on the road when the "engine failsafe warning' light came on. The entire engine shut down. No power at all. Very hard to stop and steer. I nearly got into an accident. Another time I was entering parking lot when it happened. I had the throttle body replaced to fix the problem. But shutting off the engine on a warning while driving is very dangerous. Some internet research indicates this is not a lone occurrence.
On 3 occasions my vehicle ,over 4 months, has had a complete engine failure. This occurred most recently while I was exiting the interstate . When the engine shuts down so does the dash and brake lights, it also stops power steering and brakes. This time by reacting quickly I was able to put the vehicle in neutral and restart ,after turning key to off position first.
I'm an owner of a 2006 Ford F-150 5. 4 engine. I have had 3 engine failures with this truck the first one was an injector. Second was a timing solenoid. Third was a coil. I had over 100,000 kms. I had my plugs changed. The mechanic ended up breaking off 6 plugs in the engine. This is a very expensive repair, it should only be regular maintenance. I have done a great deal of research and have found it is a very widespread problem. I feel owners should be compensated. Any advice I can receive would be helpful thanks in advance.
