HELLO GOOD MORNING I HAVE A 2011 FORD TAURUS SEL AND WHILE GOING UP A HILL MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE MY KEYS WERE STILL IN THE IGNITION. MY STEERING LOCKED, CHECK ENGINE AND LOW OIL LIGHTS WENT ON. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS APPLY BRAKES TO THE CAR AND PLACE IT IN PARK. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IF ANYTHING LOOKED OUT OF PLACE. I CHECKED MY ENGINE OIL LEVELS AND THAT SEEMED FINE. I CLOSED THE HOOD AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR LOW OIL? I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE BUT IT SEEMED LIKE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
