Vehicle has been turned into ford dealership twice, after extensive 2 and 4 day troubleshooting diagnostics tests, with still no findings as to the cause of the problem. This last failure the vehicle had to be towed to the dealer because it would not start, but two days later it starts as if nothing had happened. Vehicle has stopped running while driving in freeway traffic, while in park and when returning from multiple destinations. This has the potential of becoming a serious if not fatal flaw if no reason for the failure can be detected anlong with a means of correcting the malfunction.*Ak
