    While driving down the highway(45-55mph) vehicle dash lights, radio, windows all stop working. They come back on randomly. No change to little change when re-starting. Vehicle also loses power and the engine seems to pause and go, over and over like it's struggling. I've taken it to several ford certified mechanics who are baffled.

The radio also cuts out during this time. This happens when the vehicle is stationary, moving, on city streets, and on highways. There is no warning when this…
