2016 XLT V6 about 13,000 miles.
Symptom 1: One week ago lost radio and small screen and backup camera. Came out a few hours later and it all worked.
Symptom 2 and very dangerous: Yesterday in rush hour traffic on I95 at 65 MPH the thing quit - just dies, kaput. Wrench light and check manual illuminates.Very helpful suggestions with a dead car at 65.
Really heavy traffic, somehow I cleared across 3 lanes and made it to the breakdown lane without being killed. Absolutely crazy. No engine response.
Shut it down and restarted - tried to limp home - but 3 to 4 miles later same thing but I was prepared this time.
Onto a flatbed and off to the dealer.
I called in advance and they said they would look at it first thing in the morning.
Well it's late afternoon and SURPRISE the guy I spoke to last night told me they had a skeleton crew in service on Sat so it would have to wait till Monday.
So they must not have known Friday night that Saturdays were understaffed - wake up Mr. dealer the days of BSing customers left the station years ago.
It isn't that I expected instant service but after nearly losing my life - well maybe a bit more honesty and help.
In any case anyone familiar with this problem and potential fix?
Thanks for reading.
