The car loses power and goes into fail safe mode, at 65 and lots of traffic getting over is not safe! I've spent thousands on new coils, computer, gas pedal, you name it but Ford does not know how to fix it!

Stalling, jerking surges. Three times the car just came to an abrupt stop. Had to have it towed. My 77 year old mother was left terrified. Overheated jerks into gear. Ford replaced engine coil, but said they could not replace all at once we would have to continue to break down in order to fix each coil. The car always jerks and surges. The results are that we can not go on the freeway for fear of breaking down. No long trips etc.

(1) driving on a two lane curvy mountainous road passing a logging truck. (2) car engine failed resulting in no power, no stearing control and no brakes. There was no prior warning such as lights or messages on the instrument console. The logging truck narrowly missed us as did the oncoming traffic. We were very close to being killed or seriously injured. (3) the failure was the engine mass air flow (maf) sensor resulting in shut down of the engine.
