Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While traveling at highway speeds, the engine would quit with no proceeding symptoms or indications. shifting to neutral and trying to re-start would not work. shifting to neutral, turning off the ignition and then turning the key to start did cause a re-start. this problem causes the "service engine soon" light on the dash to light, so a code is being generated. ford is aware of this problem, since it has issued a notice (not a recall) to it's service departments. the repair is the replacement of a wiring harness and reprogramming of the processor. ford has not issued a recall for this very unsafe problem, so the charge for the work is $ 358.18. *nm
