Now it is happening almost every time i drive. This is very scary and…

While driving at about 35-40 mph, the vehicle suddenly turned off. I couldn't hit the accelerator and had to coast to the side of the road. I turned the car off and back on again, and it restarted without a problem. It has done this to me a handful of times in the last 3 years, but every time i take it to a mechanic, they cannot replicate the problem and therefore cannot fix it. The ford dealerships offer to "take a…
