2016 Ford Ranger shutting down while in motion

...

Has anyone else had a problem with their 2016 Ford Ranger shutting down whilst driving? Whilst driving along it suddenly looses all power, there are no warning lights, it just shuts down, but will then restart without a problem. This has happened to us about 10 times now, it’s been back to Ford three times and nothing shows on their computer. This is extremely dangerous and we are worried about driving it yet Ford say they have never heard of this happening before and can't find anything wrong with it.

There is a glitch in the car’s computer system. Restarting it reboots the computer. If it’s not doing it when the car is at the dealer’s and nothing shows up on their diagnostic check it’s hard to trace and fix. It’s probably going to be a process of elimination until the cause is found.
