FIRST OCCURRENCE EXHIBITED FLICKERING DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE ACCELERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE NORMALLY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SHORT INSTANCES OF DASH FLICKERING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH NO APPARENT ENGINE PROBLEMS. DURING THAT SAME PERIOD THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 4 INSTANCES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEING COMPLETELY DEAD UPON THE INITIAL ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER) IS WHAT I THINK IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT; HOWEVER, NORMAL ELECTRICAL POWER HAS, THUS FAR, RE-APPEARED WITHIN 5 MINUTES AND THE ENGINE THEN STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. YESTERDAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE OF P0119 (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) UPON RETURNING HOME. I SUBSEQUENTLY CLEARED THE CODE, BUT THE READER INDICATES ANOTHER CODE IS "PENDING". I BELIEVE THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A LARGER PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" WARNING MESSAGE, BUT THIS COMPLAINT IS VERY SIMILAR TO MANY OTHERS ALREADY POSTED AND I AGREE WITH THE RELATED SAFETY CONCERNS AND NEED FOR A RECALL. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH WHEN ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE CAME ON. WITH NO POWER, HAD TO VEER OFF TO A TURN LANE PUT IN PARK AND RESTART CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST WAS ON HIGHWAY AS WELL AROUND 40 MPH, SAME THING HAPPENED; NO POWER HAD TO VEER OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, PARK AND RESTART CAR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND HAVE EXPEDITION SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. *TR

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, NO WARNING. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP. I MADE IT HOME A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED ON A HIGHWAY BY A CAR RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AND BECOMING UNSTEERABLE. *TR

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE CAME ON AND TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES BETWEEN LOCATION AND HOME. ALMOST GOT REARENDED WHEN IT HAPPENED. *JS

IT WAS SNOWING ON MY WAY TO AN APPOINTMENT AND MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I COULDN'T SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS AND ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT THE FRONT END OF MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION. ALSO THE OTHER DRIVERS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT MINE DID NOT. MY TRUCK WAS TOTALED. I SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL WITH BACK INJURIES AND LEG INJURIES, AS WELL AS A HEAD INJURIES WHICH CAUSED ME TO TEMPORARILY LOSE MY MEMORY AND CONSCIOUSNESS. *TR

SUV ENTERED SAFE MODE ... ENGINE SHUDDERED, LOW POWER IN LOW RPM BANDS.. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED IN 2014 AT 88000 MILES. IN 2015, 115,000 MILES ENGINE DOES AGAIN WHILE DRIVING INTERSTATE PUTTING ME AT RISK ON ROAD OF COLLISION DUE TO POWER LOSS. DID NOT ENTER SAFE MODE SECOND TIME... JUST COULD NOT GET POWER - HAD TO PUSH HARD ON GAS TO GET IT INTO LOWER GEAR/HIGHER RPMS. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP THINKING COILS (COP) NEEDED REPLACED. TOLD ENGINE IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS FULL REPLACEMENT. A WRECK COULD OCCUR WHEN ENGINE FAILS LIKE THIS. ENGINES SHOULD NOT BE DEAD AT 115,000 MILES. I MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MFG SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. *TR
