I was driving at highway speed when my engine died and the wrench light came on. The car stalled very rapidly. Luckily I was able to make it to the shoulder before an oncoming traffic could collide with me. After restarting my car, I was able to drive home without further incident. This problem has happened multiple times since. I checked and my model is not eligible for recall 16v621000. I don't understand why ford is not recalling all taurus of this year range as the problem does not seem isolated to just the ecoboost engines. There are many people reporting the same issue with non-ecoboost engines. This is not right to gamble with people's safety. I would really hope that the federal safety agency takes this seriously.
