I WAS DRIVING MY '07 MARINER HYBRID ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE RED TRIANGLE & MESSAGE "STOP SAFELY NOW" APPEARED ON THE DASH. THE PROPULSION SYSTEM STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. HAVING AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WHILE TRAVELING ON THE TURNPIKE WAS VERY SCARY AND I FELT UNSAFE KNOWING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS BUT TO EXIT THE FREEWAY IMMEDIATELY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER LETTING THE SYSTEM SIT FOR ABOUT 20-MINUTES I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND RESUMED MY TRAVEL. SAME ERROR MESSAGE AND LOSS OF PROPULSION HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I NAVIGATED THE HYBRID TO A FORD DEALER IN NJ. IT'S VERY SCARY TO BE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN A SECOND LATER NOT HAVE ANY PROPULSION. THIS COULD BE HANDLED MUCH BETTER AND I RECOMMEND THE ENGINE CONTINUE TO PERFORM SO THAT I CAN SAFELY EXIT THE FREEWAY WITH MORE TIME. *JS

TRAVELLING ON ILLINOIS I-55 SOUTH EARLY IN THE MORNING. ABOUT 2 MILES NORTH OF US HIGHWAY 6 EXIT CAR LOST POWER AND I NOTICED "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE. I PULLED OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. I WENT ABOUT A 2 MILES AND CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I WAS REAL CLOSE TO THE GOLF COURSE AND MADE IT THERE. NO PROBLEMS ON THE WAY HOME OR SINCE. CAR NEVER ACTED OR SOUNDED ?FUNNY?. CAR REPAIRED BY LOCAL LINCOLN FORD DEALER. THEY SAID THEY REPLACED AN ENGINE COOLANT PUMP ($695 INCLUDING LABOR AND TAXES) THAT IS UNIQUE TO HYBRID. THEY SAID I WAS THE THIRD HYBRID THIS WEEK-END--PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH COLD WEATHER. COOLANT PUMP HAS A DIFFERENT DESIGN SO THEY MAY HAVE HAD ORIGINAL DESIGN PROBLEMS. *TT

Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
