FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT OS GOING TO STALL OUT. THE CAR REVS HIGH WHEN YOU PRESS THE GASS BUT HAS NO POWER. I'VE TAKEN IT TWICE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE TO FIX THE THROTTLE BODY FIRST BEFORE THEY CAN TELL ME IF IT'S MY TRANSMISSION. ALSO WHEN I'M FILLING UP MY TANK IT STOPS EVERY FEW SECONDS AND WILL NOT ALLOW GAS TO GO IN THE TANK. THEY ALSO SAID IT'S MY FILLER NECK.

ENGINE
MY CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH AT START, AND WAS MISFIRING SEVERELY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE COMING ON. THE PROBLEM WOULD SUBSIDE AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, BUT IF THE CAR SAT AND WAS ALLOWED TO COOL FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME, THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AT WHICH POINT THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT START ANYMORE. I WENT TO START THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT NEVER FIRE AND START. AFTER INVESTIGATION THE SHOP FOUND THE CYLINDER HEAD HAD CRACKED AND MY SPARK PLUGS & CYLINDERS WERE ALL FULL OF COOLANT DUE TO A LEAK. AFTER MINIMAL RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES, AND THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE RECALL IN THE UK DUE TO THIS ISSUE CAUSING CARS TO COMBUST INTO FLAMES WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THE SAME CARS IN THE UNITED STATES. MY CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE THAT WILL REQUIRE A COMPLETE REBUILD, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IF I DID NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKE IT FOR SERVICE. THE SHOP IS BUILDING A QUOTE FOR ME THAT I WILL UPLOAD ONCE AVAILABLE.

LOCKS FLEW OPEN AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME THE LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DOOR OPENED SUDDENLY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR. I REPORTED IT BUT IT SEEMS THERE WAS NO FEEDBACK FROM THIS WEBSITE EITHER. NOBODY CALLED OR EMAILED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR OTHERWISE, MY CAR'S ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY JERK AND SLOW DOWN. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 30MPH. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN SLAMMED INTO SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND HAD THE GAS PEDAL REPLACED AS THE COMPUTER PICKS UP A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CHIP AND THE COMPUTER. AND BOTH TIMES THE NEW PART HAS FAILED. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD, AND A DANGEROUS ONE CONSIDERING FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM
