Hate to say it, but the SSN issue is not 100% behind us...well, at least for me. I was hoping that it was gone, but I had a second occurrence today while accelerating to get on the freeway. Below is my NTSA post...
Just entered freeway on-ramp and began to accelerate when power instantly ceased and car coasted. Dashboard indicated "Stop Safely Now" and I pulled to the side. Steering and brakes were still functioning but no response at all from the accelerator. Car did not respond at first to a restart. Had to turn car off, open door, close door, wait for dashboard to go blank and then restart to actually make it go again. This was the same symptom that occurred in November of 2013 (and reported here) that Ford supposedly fixed through re-call. After restarting the car, there is no indication of any problem. Car had a state of charge of 36% at time of failure.
There was nothing peculiar about the car prior to the event. I had a full charge at the beginning of the day and had depleted to about 30% when I plugged it into a 120V outlet for another 20% of charge over the course of about 4 or 5 hours.
Car is behaving normally now and it has been 8 months since it last occurred.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
