The vehicle has done this twice. Driving along, it goes into fail safe mode and stops dead. The manual states this is a coolant issue which was not the case; there was adequate coolant. Doing some research on various internet sites, this seems to be a common problem with 2006 expeditions. I called ford customer service and was told they were unaware of a problem. I find this difficult to believe given all the sites…
