My truck shuts off while driving for no reason whatsoever. The lights come and it throws no codes at all. I have experienced this while driving down the road at speeds of 50 or less. But it doesn't matter it still dies just the engine. I have not seen one investigation by the government at all. And as I go online many people are suffering the same fate to where people have gotten into accidents... I want answers!!! We need answers as this is a serious problem. The engine just dies but I don't lose electrical power, but I do lose steering and it's very hard to control the truck at these times. Ford denies everything and will not help at all without money in hand!!! This is wrong... We need government to step in and help!!!
