WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, BRAKES, AND STEERING CAPABILITIES., ETC WITH NO WARNING. LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR ME AT THE TIME. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS IN NEUTRAL TO A SOMEWHAT SAFE LOCATION OFF THE ROAD. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD JUST STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THEN IT WARNED LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THEN JUST SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT'S NOT LOW. OIL LEVEL IS PERFECT. AFTER SOME QUICK ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS. UNEXPECTED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING. SCARY AND VERY UNSAFE TO SAY THE LEAST. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.
