WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 MERCURY MARINER HYBRID AT 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE RED TRIANGLE CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE "STOP SAFELY NOW." THE CAR COMPLETELY AND SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS BUT TO NO AVAIL. I PULLED OVER, SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND MAKE IT HOME. I HAVE 64,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I SEE THAT THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM, BUT AM UPSET THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE WARRANTY GOES TO 60,000 MILES. *TR
