My 2005 Mercury Mountaineer loses power for no reason. This is the fourth time this has happened. It was been to the dealer multiple times and they cannot find a problem. There is nothing to foresee when it happens, the only consistency has been that luckily I have been on local roads doing no more than 35 miles per hour or so. First battery light and service engine comes on as the engine stops, then low oil. The car does not seize up, I can steer to the side of the road. If I put it back in park. Turn the ignition off, and then restart it is fine. There is considerable length of time between occurrences (months if not close to a year this time. ).

While driving 35-45 mph, car suddenly shut down. Check engine light and battery light came on. Loss of power steering, power brakes, acceleration. Maneuvered vehicle to nearby parking lot, waited, and then restarted the vehicle. No problem in restarting vehicle and all warning lights were off. Used cruise control prior to incident. Intermittent problem; unable to re-create for Ford dealer to diagnose. New battery was installed by Ford dealer in winter 2009.

While driving 40-45 mph and using the cruise control, car suddenly shut down. Check engine light and battery light came on. Loss of power steering, power brakes, acceleration. Was able to steer SUV to off the road but was very difficult to do so. Nearly ran off a 10 to 12 foot drop off into a drainage ditch. This has happened several times before. Car max (where we bought SUV could not duplicate the issue so they sent it to metro Ford in independence, mo and on the first time it happened replace the throttle position sensor but that did not fix the problem). The wrench and fail safe mode came on this last time but the persons repairing it indicated they found no codes for it and were unable to re-create to diagnose. From research I know this is a problem with other vehicles of this type (both the loss of electrical power and the no code found situation) but we came very close to an injury related accident because of this.

While driving vehicle cut off without prior warning, causing loss of steering. Also, headlights went out. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer has replaced the battery. Please provide any further details.
