While sitting at a light vehicle shut down, and engine check light came on. Vehicle shut completely down due to computer module failure. Also, alternator and battery died out, and engine belt, that runs everythng within the vehicle, disconnected due to the harmonic balancer that almost came off. Three sensors were also replaced.
While traveling 45mph lost steering power & brakes. Vehicle towed to dealer & was informed by mechanic the alternator belt broke. The pulley had shifted. The damper had failed & pushed the pulley over & caused the alternator to break.
The vibration damper fails and causes the pully to shift, causing the alt. Belt to rub against the side of the car until it breaks. This caused loss of power steering. Extremely dangerous situation caused by a defect in the design of this Ford component
