A safety feature? I doubt the op feels it is a "safety festure". It is definitely the way the software is programmed tho. For the life of me I cannot understand why it would be "unsafe" to restart a rolling vehicle, as long as the clutch is fully depressed. This is also why 6g Broncos can't be push started. Makes no sense to me at all. I really think Ford should address this!As others have mentioned, this is very likely a scenario where it was stalled and because you were rolling backwards the wheel speed was preventing a restart. This is likely a safety feature from Ford to not allow a restart while in gear to prevent possible transmission damage. Those that said they tried to restart it while moving and it would not turn back on until stopped. I would be curious if the engine was off and you were rolling, if it was in neutral with the clutch pressed down if it would restart. Maybe its just because it was in gear and sensing wheel speed?
