Engine cuts out with error lights on dash, no throttle response or power. This is very dangerous as it happened on a busy interstate at around 70mph. We had to get the vehicle to the shoulder without power narrowly avoiding other vehicles and large trucks. This fault endangered the life of my family!!

For the last year my car have been leaking fumes and smelling of carbon monoxide. I have complained to mission valley ford, big valley ford and all star ford. When i start the vehicle there is white smoke and a strong fume. They said it's the ecoboost. Secondly the turbo they say has gone out already at 87k miles and i believe the smell and the turbo is connected.
