Door ajar sensor appeared, took vehicle back to dealer, replaced door latch and door ajar icon disappeared. Automatic door latches are working properly; however, one week later, as i was driving a wrench icon appeared and my car lost power. Imagine the danger involved in driving and loosing power.

When i accelerate from a stop position, or when i am approx. Only a few miles per hour the vehicle will jump and it will feel the vehicle jump and it feels like i am rear-ended. I asked my dealer about this and was told they never heard of it. It was all over the internet. Many, many owners had the same problem. I found tsb 11-5-6 and brought it with me to my dealer and had it fixed. Again, they never even heard of…

It is unsafe and the car is unable to maneuvered to the side of the road. This clearly is a issue with the manufacture of the vehicle, and dramatically impacts safety, increasing the potential for a serious crash. There has been a…

The vehicle shut down on the highway. It appeared that the vehicle had no fuel. The yellow wrench came on, and the vehicle died, as it came to a stop. After a few minutes, started as if nothing had happened. It has done it a few other times, today. I checked to see if there were any codes and on the first few times, there were not (autozone), but the last time it threw p2111. *tr

My wife was driving home from work during rush hour and twice on the same trip the engine shuttered then completely shut down. The first time, luckily, she was able to coast across four lanes of traffic to the shoulder because this happened where two interstates merge and the is not a shoulder on the left. We took the car to the dealership and they replaced the throttle body. The dealer stated it was a known problem…

While driving at highway speeds on an interstate, there was a sudden loss of accelerator power. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road, park, shut the engine off, and restart with seemingly no repeatable affect. Dealer not able to reproduce the problem but says that it's probably the throttle body. This loss of power and required shoulder maneuver could have caused a significant crash due to…

While in drive, without warning, awd off appears followed by the wrench icon indicating service is needed immediately. The car loses its ability to accelerate. Engine, brakes, radio, ac all still work, the only issue is an inability to accelerate at all so the car basically is in neutral and…

Driving 45 mph and vehicle lost power, the wrench dash warning light came on, pulled over shut it off and it was rough to start but it did, and ran ok. A week later did it again going about 25 mph. As others have mentioned scanner shows no codes. Fortunately for us the issues have happened on low volume roadways, not high speed, high traffic like some unlucky folks. Local dealer called ford and it is not covered…

Second incident in 3 weeks. While driving, awd off light appears while the car is in drive. Any attempt to accelerate fails and i had to drift through traffic to the side of the road. Turning the car off and on seems to temporarily solve the issue. Brought it to a ford dealer during first incident and they ran a diagnostic but nothing came up. This issue is dangerous and potentially life threatening. *tr
