Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2006 Ford F-150

I was driving down us 281(busy 3 lane highway) in san antonio and the engine shut off causing me to coast to a stop in the middle of traffic. Once I got off of the road, the engine started up like nothing was wrong. After I inspected the fluids and saw everything checked out, I got back on the highway only to have the engine shut off again. I called Ford to see if there was an issue reported or a recall, and there was nothing. I found over 300 complaints on various forums by typing in --2006 f150 failsafe--in the search engine. I think this is a real safety issue that Ford needs to address before someone gets killed on the road. Phil mayfield 210-823-8613.

While approaching an interestion, about to make a right at the light, (I was driving about 20mph) on 12/24/12 (with my two children and husband in the truck) the vehicle beeps and it displays "engine safe mode. . . Low oil pressure" then the power steering cuts off and the whole vehicle shut down! I am frantic at this point because I have no clue what is going on! I was in the middle of traffic and had to cut the car off and crank it up again. Luckly I didn't get rear ended or in an accident. That same day I went and got my oil change because it was over due. Well on 1/4/13 the same thing happens as I am turning into the parking lot of mcdonalds. I get the same error message as beore, the steering wheel locks up, and truck cuts off! this so extremely dangerous. I looked this issue up online and see that it appears to be a common issue with the 2006 F-150 and the expedition. My bother-in-law, who also has a similar F-150 to ours, said the same thing has happened to him twice.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford f150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred in January 2009, June 2009 and again in October 2009. The failure became more frequent and progressively worse over time. The vehicle would completely shut down with no warning lights; she would be able to restart after three attempts. She took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that they could not duplicate the failure. She called the manufacturer who stated that she should take the vehicle back to the dealer. The vehicle has not been repaired to-date. The current mileage was approximately 74,000. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
