AS I WAS TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED FROM 35 MPH MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT THE MECHANIC TO GET THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN ON IT. IT SHOWED THAT I HAD A BAD IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUGS. I BOUGHT THE COIL FROM FORD AND WHEN I GOT IT PUT IN MY CAR 3 MINUTES LATER THAT SAME COIL I BOUGHT EXPLODED AGAIN! IMA MECHANIC CALLED FORD THEY SAID IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS CARS PCM. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 40-50MPH AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS OR GO UPHILL THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CLUCK OUT OF GEAR AND THEN SLAM BACK IN VIOLENTLY. IT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT IT SNAPPED THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE MOUNT. WHEN IT DOES THIS THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD WITH LOSS OF POWER AND THEN SNAPS BACK WHEN IT SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH SONNAX TECHNICAL SUPPORT, THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND UPDATE THE PCM/TCM WITH THE LATEST SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, THEY DID SAY THAT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE AISIN/FORD HAVE NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE VALVE BODY, THEY KEEP THROWING UPDATES AT THE PROBLEM BUT BUY THEN DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE AND FORD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS NOT JUST A CONSUMER COMPLAINING, THIS IS A CONSUMER THAT BELIEVES THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AISIN/FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND RECALL THIS VALVE BODY AND FIX THE ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT TRANSMISSION BUT IGNORED IT AND KEPT THROWING UPDATES AT IT INSTEAD OF DOING THE RIGHT THING AND RECALLING IT AND FIXING IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A FAULTY PART WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK. FORD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

TURNED MY CAR ON ONE MORNING AND A WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UPON DRIVING TO MY REPAIR SHOP TO GET PROBLEM LOOKED AT NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN ACCELERATION POWER AND VEHICLE WAS IN "LIMP MODE" MY MECHANIC TOLD ME. LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL AND THAT A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR A RECALL OF THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY VEHICLE AND MANY OTHERS SO I AM SUBMITTING MY COMPLAINT TO HELP GET THIS ISSUE PUT INTO RECALL STATUS AS THE PART IS FAIRLY EXPENSIVE AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE AS A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DEFECT FROM FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AT THE FACTORY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE INSIDE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE FROM UNDER THE DOOR PANEL AND BECAME INOPERABLE. THIS REQUIRED THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO BE REPLACED ON OR ABOUT 10/2009. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN OCT. 2006, HAD LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND WAS RARELY OCCUPIED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THE DRIVER I.E. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS RARELY USED. SINCE THEN, BOTH INSIDE REAR DOOR HANDLES ARE BECOMING DIFFICULT TO OPERATE AND WILL MOST LIKELY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. ON OR ABOUT 9/15/2014, THE FRONT INSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AGAIN BECAME INOPERABLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 10/2/2014. THE FRONT DRIVER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND BECAME INOPERABLE ON OR ABOUT 9/30/2014 AND WAS REPLACED ALSO ON 10/2/2014. THE HANDLES APPEAR TO BE OF VERY POOR QUALITY AND DO NOT HOLD UP AT ALL. IF THE REAR DOORS WERE USED MORE FREQUENTLY, IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO REPLACE THEM ALSO AT THIS TIME. CURRENT CAR MILEAGE IS 92000 MILES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN I75S IN VERY SLOW TRAFFIC. AS I WAS APPROACHING AM ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THE CAR STALLING OR JERKING A LITTLE. THE WRENCH SENSOR CAME ON IN THE CAR. I GOT OVER 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER & CHECKED THE CAR. I DIDN'T SEE ANY OBVIOUS PROBLEMS SO I TURNED IT OFF WAITED A FEW SECONDS & STARTED IT BACK UP. THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT OFF THE EXIT & TURNED AROUND TO COME HOME. THE CAR DID FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST & THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAILING & WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAVE ME STRANDED. I AM TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE TAKEN CAR OF SOON. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE ONLINE WITH NC CARS & WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECALL INFO REGARDING THIS SUBJECT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK BC THIS IS MY ONLY CAR & IM SCARED TO GET STRANDED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE FIRST INCIDENT MY CAR WAS BUCKING AND SHAKING. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER THAT RAN THE TRANSMISSION AND 3 COILS. NOW AT 77,000 IT AGAIN IS HAVING SLIPPING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THESE ISSUES SEEM TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES, BUT USUALLY BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE FROM 40-50MPH THERE IS A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND YOU LOSE ACCELERATION. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRY REPEATEDLY AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES, BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE DUE TO THE SLIPPING PROBLEM. IT TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO HAD THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY PUT ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND COUNTLESS OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORTED EITHER HAVING TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION AND ALSO OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN ON THE HIGHWAY - NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE!!!!! I'M WORRIED ABOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND/OR GETTING KILLED. *TR

PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND MY KEY REFUSED TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK/DRIVE TO SEE IF THE IGNITION WILL UNLOCK, BUT IT IS NOT COMMUNICATING THAT IT IS IN PARK (STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK, I ALSO CAN'T TURN THE KEY BACKWARDS AND PUT INTO AUXILIARY MODE. IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD THING IF I DIDN'T LIVE IN THE CITY. BESIDES THE FACT THAT THE STUPID DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BUSTED TOO WHICH IS A SECURITY ISSUE ALONG WITH A SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T A CONSUMER RELY ON A CAR MANUFACTURE TO ISSUE PARTS THAT DON'T BREAK OR MALFUNCTION... I SEE ONLINE THAT LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE... AS THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE? MAYBE ITS TIME TO BUY A CHEVY. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE IN THE PROCESS I DISLOCATED MY FINGER. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. ONLY WAY OUT IS TO EITHER OPEN THE WINDOW (WHICH IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IN MICHIGAN WINTERS) OR PULL THE LOCK OPEN FURTHER AT THE SAME TIME THAT I PULL THE DOOR HANDLE. I HAVE BROKEN COUNTLESS FINGERNAILS ON MY LEFT HAND BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DOOR PIECES ARE SO FLIMSY, YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY ARE MADE OUT OF VERY, VERY CHEAP PLASTIC. RECALL? NOT ONLY IS THIS A NUISANCE, BUT IT IS A VERY HIGH SECURITY ISSUE IF NEEDING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN A HURRY. *TR
