What owners wrote
I have just over 1000 miles on my 2013 focus ev ... Took it for its 1st power car wash today @ delta sonic ... About 10:00 min driving away from car wash, vehicle abruptly "shut down" requesting an "immediate safe stop" and the "yellow wrench" showed on dash. After about 30:00 min while scheduling a tow from ford roadside assist, vehicle abruptly "cleared itself" and turned on ... Drove home w/o problem ? Wondering if "flood sensor" sensed too much water and disengaged battery pack ? ...
While traveling down the freeway, decelerating to change lanes the stop safely now message appeared and the car lost power. This is a re-occurrence and the dealer is working to resolve it.
