description: I WAS STOPPED AT A SIGNAL. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED, I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE AS NORMAL. JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION, THE GAS ENGINE SHUT DOWN, A RED LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE CAR BEHIND ME STRUCK US. UPON GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KNEW THAT THE ELECTRONIC COOLING PUMP HAD FAILED. THERE WAS NOT MANY QUESTIONS, AS THEY DESCRIBED WHAT THE SYMPTOMS WERE. UPON LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD, AND THAT THE NEW ECP WAS REDESIGNED TO PREVENT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT VEHICLES LOSING POWER TO THIS SAME PROBLEM. IN SOME CASES, AS WAS MINE, ELECTRICAL POWER IS LOST AS WELL, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. *TR
