My 2006 ford expedition's "engine failsafe mode" initiated and alerted me while i was operating the vehicle, which resulted in the vehicle shutting down completely and losing all power. My main issue/concern with this is that i lost steering and a significant amount of braking power. Fortunately, i was on a side road and was able to safely pull over out of harm's way. The vehicle was able to start a couple of tries…

I was driving down the freeway approximately 50 mph when my engine completely shut down. There was a beep and a light came on that said "enginer fail safe mode". The engine shut off, but luckily i still had full movement of my steering wheel so i was able to change lanes and get off to the shoulder. I panicked for a moment, but started the car and it started right back up. I attempted my drive to work and made it…

I was driving about 25-30mph and making a left turn. The vehicle suddenly shut off. I had no power steering or anything. It was totally off and stopped in the middle of the road. If a car had been coming it would have hit us. I was able to turn off the key, put it in park and start it up and pull off the road. I decided to carefully try to get home. On the way home i was stopped at a red light and it shut off again,…

As i was driving my expedition, the truck suddenly shut completely off and i had to power steering and then in the message center it showed "engine failsafe mode". I had to put my flashers on and coast to a stop in the lane i was in and come to a complete stop before i could restart my truck. I was unable to switch lanes or move to a safer location because i had no power steering. I had the same thing happen in…

This is the second incident: the fist was about 3 months ago. I was driving down a residential street yesterday when the "fail safe mode" indicator came on and said engine shutting down. Car turns off, cannot steer. Very dangerous. I was on a residential street and was able to pull off. Turned the car off for a few minutes and it started and i drove to work, but the engine light remained on. I took it to an auto…

Twice in last week, driving at slow speed and "engine fail safe mode" light comes on. Lost power, braking, and steering. Forced to put car in neutral while car was rolling to restart. Rolled right thru stop sign. Restarted fine, luckily. In second event, almost got hit when turning left across oncoming traffic! Started turn and couldn't stop turn due to loss of braking. Fortunately, first time i tried the restart in…
