FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HEAVY GAS FUMES PERMEATING GARAGE, HOUSE AND CAR. FOUND THAT GAS TANK IS SEVERELY RUSTED, OR "ROTTED" AS THE DEALER SAID, IN SEVERAL PLACES. $2100 TO FIX. CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD! NOT EVEN DUE FOR A TUNE UP YET. THERE ARE OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME ISSUE. FORD SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING BUT "DOCUMENT IT." DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE DRIVING ON A SUPER-HIGHWAY AND HAVE THE TANK FALL OFF THE CAR AND GET KILLED OR HAVE THEIR HOUSE EXPLODE BEFORE FORD DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT?! PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED FORWARD LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. PARKED THE CAR AND TESTED NEXT DAY, SAME RESULT. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY PULLED CODES P0720 AND P0722 AND FOLLOWED TSB 07-21-11. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. REPLACED OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR AND TURBINE SPEED SENSOR. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER BILL OF $1145.31 AND NOW CAR WILL ONLY DRIVE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR SO IT IS ALMOST USELESS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SUDDENLY SMELLED GAS WHEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK IS CORRODED AND THE WHOLE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I NOW SEE ON FORUMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS CAR, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM AND THAT FORD DENIES IT BEING A DEFECT. NO CAR SHOULD HAVE CORROSION ON THE GAS TANK AFTER JUST 7 YEARS!! FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND OFFER REPLACEMENT TANKS FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD TO FIGHT FORD FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THIS HEFTY REPAIR EXPENSE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO THEN DASH LIGHTS ALL COME ON. GET OFF HIGHWAY PULL OVER AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES, PUT CAR IN D, HEAR LOUD BANG, CAR LUNGES FORWARD A LITTLE THEN DRIVES NORMALLY. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON HIGHWAY AT @60MPH WHEN SAME THING HAPPENS, GET OFF HIGHWAY AND STOP AT 2ND RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. LET CAR SIT FOR @10 MIN. THEN IT STARTS GOING @10MPH, AFTER ABOUT 1 MILE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. HAVE BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HAD 2 SENSORS REPLACED ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE BUT NOW TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED AT BUSY BACK ROAD INTERSECTION THEN TRIED TO RESUME SPEED THE VEH. WOULD NOT MOVE. E-MAILED LOCAL FORD DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ISSUE WAS HAPPENING ONCE AGAIN AFTER SENSORS WERE REPLACED. PRIOR TO FORD ALSO HAD SEARS LOOK AT VEH. WHERE THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A SENSOR BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHICH ONE. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS BACK TO ME IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE ALOT OF HESITATION ON WANTING TO GO. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER SEEMED TO BE THE BEST TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A BIG CONCERN ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY WHO KEEPS DRIVING IT WITHOUT GETTING OFF THE ROAD? I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, MYSELF, OTHERS WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE, AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY AROUND THESE VEHICLES WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE POSTS I KEEP SEEING ALL REFLECT THE SAME ISSUE AND ALL TOO OFTEN THEY ARE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, WILL IT TAKE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH FOR THIS CONCERN TO BE ADDRESSED? A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT KEEP STOPPING OR PRODUCING LOUD BANGS AFTER IT STOPS MOVING AND I THINK THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE FROM ENOUGH PEOPLE WHO HAVE VOICED THEIR ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM TO WARRANT IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS MATTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS HAVE BURNED AND CHARRED. PLASTIC IS MELTED. BULBS BURN OUT REPEATEDLY. FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND FOUND THE BEST SOLUTION WAS A CERTAIN BULB THAT HAD MORE GLASS AT THE BASE AND IT WAS RATED FOR A HIGHER VOLTAGE. THAT COMPANY HAS NOW DISCONTINUED THAT BULB AS OF JUNE 2014 SO NOW I AM UNSURE IF IT WILL EVENTUALLY CATCH ON FIRE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE BULBS BURN OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR WITH THE REGULAR STORE BOUGHT BULBS. AGAIN, SOCKET AND END OF BULBS THAT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SOCKET ARE VERY CHARRED AND MELTED. *JS
