ON THURSDAY JULY 2 2020 MY FORD ECOSPORT STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAS PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT BY THE LOCAL POLICE. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TALKED TO A FORD SERVICE PERSON AND HE SUGGESTED I DISABLE THE AUTO START. I DID AS HE SUGGESTED AND DROVE JUST FINE UNTIL I GOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STALLS AND I DROVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH BARELY ANY STEERING AND NO BRAKES AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS WAS REALLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.
