hey guys, i have been a member of this sit for many years. over the years i have occasionally seen some threads about this. i know because i made one of them when i first bought my car in 2002.

when i got the car, i could be driving down the highway going 50-60 (whatever) and the car would suddenly shut down. breaks and steering wheel tighten and locks up and the car just loses all power and costs. i can just turn the key and the car fires back up.

now 5 yrs ago i took it to ford and they did some computer reprogramming. it never happened again.....until today!!!!!!!!!!

i was going very fast and making a lane change. the thing does exactly what is described above. this is a serious problem that can kill someone.

4 years no problem. over the years ive seen a few other threads with this exact problem. HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT WHAT THIS IS YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe your tuner didnt use the latest revision for your computer code?

A long time ago, that happened to me in my GT I believe. Just got up to 60-65MPH and BAM car dies and all the gauges die out. I hit the starter and she fires right back up. Never happened again....weird stuff.

Good luck.....and YES THIS IS TECH MODS!!!!
