As I was driving my 2006 Mercury Mountaineer today; I noticed that it was low on gas so I checked the information and it read 49 miles to empty. Therefore I thought that I had enough gas however, as I entered the on ramp to the freeway the car just shut off and it was swerving out of control. It started shortly after but, I was afraid to drive so I waited for the tow truck. When the tow truck arrived it tuned on fine and I even drove it forward to help them hook it up. He took me off the road it drove fine but, I did add more gas. I am not sure why it stopped in the first place; I have driven it before using the reserve tank without any problem. I also had it scanned for electrical problems and none were detected. Please share your thoughts if you have had a similar experience or, if you know what this might have caused my car to shut off while I was driving.
Thanks in advance!
