“Our police department has two new Ford interceptor. Three times my car has stalled out in the middle of the road, I was trying to make a quick turn around to stop a vehicle for a m/v violation. The car just shuts off, I lost power steering and brakes then I started to roll towards a fence . I had to shift back into park to start the car. This is a huge issue if this is going to keep happening.”
