After pulling to the side of the road and turning the vehicle off and trying to restart it will experience a long and hard start. The vehicle will do this weather you are driving 5mph or 70 mph.

Travelling at 70 mph on freeway, yellow wrench shows and vehicle slows down to 2-5 mph very quickly. Unable to accelerate or steer. This is a very dangerous situation ford needs to rectify. Taken to dealership and no error codes or recurring problem at dealership. This is also a problem as how do you have a massive deceleration and warning lights without an error code registering.

Once i got the vehicle to the shoulder, i placed…
