Mine is doing the same thing did you get yours fixed? If so what did u have to do?
I have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred and my fail safe mode is on and my car want pull can someone that has had these problems tell me what's wrong with it
Check the wiring under your hood for any kind of corroded and or bare wires that may have fused themselves together. My '05 five hundred went into failsafe/limp mode four times over a 2 month period. Once while doing 85 down the highway, instantly going from 85mph to 30mph without warning. Each time it was simply wiring issues... corroded bare wires. It was all electrical. I haven't had an issue with limp mode in almost a year now.
So what was the solution? My girlfriends 500 is in engine fail/ safe mode. What is a common fix?
