“Ford mec pump recall, did not help after replacing part. My escape died on me while going 70 MPH on a busy highway, with my 18-month old son in the back seat. The stop safely now message appeared and I was barely able to get over 3 lanes onto the shoulder before it stopped completely, with cars speeding right past me. This was very dangerous. It happened 2 more times on the way home. This was during the last half of just a 20 mile trip.”
