4.0 engine shut down while driving
It's been awhile since I've been on the forums. I still have my 2005 4.0 Mustang and experienced my first engine issue.
This morning as I was pulling into my office parking area, the engine shut off and I lost power steering and brakes. The check engine light, oil light and a couple of others came on. The radio and defrost were still working. I had to struggle to turn, since the power steering went out. After I realized that the engine shut off, I was able to restart the car and drive to my parking space.
Anyone experience this issue?
If so, what was the resolution?
I am concerned for safety reasons. If I was going much faster, I could have wrecked into the entrance area due to losing power steering and brakes.
Thanks in advance!
