    SHO safety concern

    It is possible to shut down a 2014 SHO traveling at 70mph by accidently lightly brushing against the start stop button (I was reaching up to the touch screen). The car looses power and electronics. It cannot be restarted again until placed in park. It's a big deal when one is in the middle freeway lane and road is curving. I alerted Ford customer service 1800 number and the dealer. I was able to duplicate the accidental shut off on three other SHOs (friends of mine) model years 2012-1014 in a grocery store parking lot traveling 25 mph. I am having a custom flip up cover made to prevent a future occurrence.

    You can restart the car by shifting to Neutral, then placing your foot on the brake and re-starting. I had to do this on the dragstrip to reset the ECU and never had to come to a complete stop in park to re-start it.
