DieterG Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 2018 GT Convertible, AT, MR, 21.000 km (13.000 miles) As said in title I was on the highway on sunday, driving on left lane to pass slower cars with speed around 190 km/h (118 mph) when the engine went off without any warning. (And no, I didn't touch "Start/Stop" and touching "Start/Stop" while the car is driving will not shut down the engine.) I was able to reach the hard shoulder and stopped the car. Starting the engine again was impossible. I opened the door, closed it again and locked the car. Waited two minutes and unlocked the car. Engine started without any problems. Full power, everything as allways. No errors in error memory. Mine is the fourth 2018er GT AT reported in German mustang6.de forum with that problem. Anyone else here?

Ikzz Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Let me understand: your car stopped at 190km/h while you were passing an other vehicle, on an highway? You have been lucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was lucky, that there was not so much traffic because it happened on Sunday. But not the car stopped, "only" the engine went off. The car kept rolling.

At least you have been able to "drive" the car to a safe spot. Gratz to you and to your cold blood. I presume that when you hear your engine stopping at that speed you start feeling a chill down the spine... Btw did you take the car to a mechanic after the event?

DieterG Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Brought it to my dealer and got it unchanged back. Ford Cologne told him that it is a known issue and it happened to three other ponies befor (as I know from our forum). They also told him, that it is a problem of communication between control units and that there will come an update within the next future. They said, that this error never occurred a second time. They were instructed to clear the fault memory and return the vehicle to me. So we will see, what will happen. As long as I do not get the reverse gear switched on at 200 km / h, I will be able handle it. Anyway: Wondering, how many others all over the world had this issue!

coupe3w Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Probably not going to happen in the states. We have speed limits and most people don't drive at 118 MPH for extended periods of time here. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
