ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL WITHOUT ANY WARNING FROM THE SENSORS. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW DAYS. CAR WOULD NOT START. TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE READ OTHER ACCOUNTS WHERE CAR STALLED OR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS HAS HAD MORE ATTENTION IN THE UK AND FORD IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL BUT NOT DOING HERE IN THE US.

THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR'S LATCH STOPPED WORKING. NO DAMAGES OR ACCIDENTS WERE DONE TO MY CAR. I RARELY USE THE REAR OF MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SHOW A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY SPECIFIC CAR EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY SPECIFIC YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. ALSO, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR'S LATCH BROKE IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR'S LATCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND PERSONAL HARM. I WANT TO GET ALL MY LATCH'S FIXED, REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE ONE I HAD TO PAY FOR, AND AN APOLOGY FROM FORD. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND THE RESULT SHOWED "0 UNREPAIRED RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN". HOWEVER, THIS SPECIFIC RESPONSE DOES NOT MEAN THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CAR. IT MEANS THAT THE RECALLS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR HAVE BEEN FIXED. HOWEVER, WHAT IF THE DOOR LATCH THEY USED TO "FIX" THE RECALL FOR IT WAS FAULTY AS WELL? HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO CHECK WHETHER THE RECALL THAT WAS COMPLETED WAS FOR THE DOOR LATCH'S? HOW DO I GET FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR (TWO FAULTY DOOR LATCHES WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER) NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON IT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE? I WANT TO DISCOURAGE THE BUYING OF FORD CARS AS I HAVE HEARD OF MANY ISSUES WITH FORD CARS AND I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THEM MYSELF. I AM FILLING THIS REPORT IN HOPES TO HELP OTHERS NOT JUST MYSELF. DOOR LATCHES BREAKING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HARM.

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.

CLUTCH PEDAL WILL STAY STUCK DOWN IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION 6 SPEED. INTERMITTENT, BUT REPEATABLE (NOT EVERY TIME BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO STOP HAPPENING) PREVENTS CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING. CAN HAPPEN WHETHER SHIFTING STOPPED OR WHILE IN MOTION. LIFTING ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL BY HAND (OR FOOT) WILL REENGAGE THE CLUTCH. HAS HAPPENED WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IN AN INTERSECTION, COULD NOT PROCEED UNDER POWER IN ANY GEAR TILL MANUALLY (AWKWARDLY) REACHING DOWN AND LIFTING PEDAL WHILE TRAFFIC APPROACHING ME.
