| 2011 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | THE START ENGINE BUTTON CUTS THE ENGINE OFF IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY HIT IT. IT IS RIGHT BESIDE THE RADIO ON/OFF BUTTON SO IS VERY EASY TO HIT BY MISTAKE. IF YOU ARE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT IT YOU ARE LEFT WITH NO ENGINE POWER, NO POWER BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I HAVE WRITTEN FORD A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE EXCEPT TO TELL MY LOCAL DEALER. IT'S NOT A DEALER PROBLEM. THE BUTTON SHOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF COVER OVER IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US WHILE DRIVING - LUCKILY WERE ABLE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART ENGINE. *KB |
