2007 Lincoln Mark LT Complaints

While driving on the expressway, multiple system warning lights suddenly appeared on the dash with the message 'engine failsafe mode'. The engine immediately shut off and I lost power steering and power brakes while moving at highway speed. I was able to coast to the shoulder and the truck would not restart. The vehicle ran perfectly prior to this malfunction and there was no warning that a problem may exist.

THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2004/TRANSMISSION/NO_OVERDRIVE.SHTML

THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO PULL HARD TO THE LEFT. I CROSSED 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC, STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR IN THE THIRD LANE AND THEN CONTINUING ACROSS TWO OTHER LANES AND STRIKING THE CENTER CONCRETE DIVIDER WALL HEAD ON.
