STEERING
DRIVING TO WORK STEERING STARTED TO GET HARD TO STEER ON THE HIGH WAY AND MAKING TURNS. THEN AFTER WORK PUT IN KEY TURN KEY ON SAYS STEERING LOST STOP. AT THIS TIME THE STEERING WAS LOCKED UP MY SON WAS ABLE TO GET THE STEERING TO WHERE HE COULD GET IT HIM BUT VERY HARD TO DO I COULDN'T BUDGET IT. THE WAY IT ACTED ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD STOP WORKING CAUSE IT WAS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FUEL GAUGE READS WRONG BY ATLEAST AN 1/8 OF A TANK AND AND WHEN IT SAYS YOU HAVE 30 MILES TILL EMPTY YOU MIGHT GET 10 MILES BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF GAS.IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY WARNING WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS IT WILL START TO SUPPDER AND THEN WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU PUT MORE GAS IN.AND YOU CAN SMELL GAS INSIDE THE CAR.IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR JUST IDOLING.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2018 FROM FORD. WE WERE TOLD THAT AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK IS FILLED AT 1/2 A TANK, THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. SINCE WE RECEIVED THE LETTER, MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY THREE SEPARATE TIMES, EACH TIME RESULTING IN THE CAR HAVING TO BE PUSHED TO A SAFER LOCATION. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANYTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THE SITUATION AND IT'S BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER BEFORE IT BECOMES A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY HUSBAND BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 70+ MPH ON THE HIGHWAY.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING, EITHER FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION, CAR SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY WHILE SWITCHING GEARS. SOMETIMES THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF ACCELERATION.THIS HAS SCARED US QUITE A FEW TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AS THE POWER LOSS HAS PUT US IN SITUATIONS WHEN AN ACCIDENT COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED. THIS SHUDDER HAPPENS 90% OF THE TIME WHEN ACCELERATING, AND IS GETTING WORSE. CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED NOT LONG AFTER WE BOUGHT IT (BOUGHT USED FROM DEALER IN 2016), AND WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER IN 2018 THAT THE CLUTCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AND SINCE THEY WERE 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, WE WOULD HAVE TO COUGH UP THE $1800 OURSELVES TO REPLACE THE CLUTCHES FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A CAR THAT WAS THEN 4 YEARS OLD.
