Car stalls and have had three car accidents and ford refused to pay for gas tank isoes and car does not start after it is used for a few mins. There is a serious mileage fluctuations and ford dealership tefises to repair failed recall and claim ford Corp will not pay for repairs so that is nothing to be seen. Car has been seen 3 ties after failed repair and ford will nit take any responsibility for tevlls that didn't work.. Ford might offered some repair program but honoring it is another matter.
My car actually stopped on me on sunday may 13, 2018 off I-35 on freeway. I was driving with my son and daughter in law in the car and I begin to feel the car just slow down. It was frightening because I was on the freeway and with no warning, the car slowed down to "turtles pace" and I tried to excelerate but nothing happened. Had to immediately get in lane to get car off the freeway. It stalled out. We had to wait for hours in the dark until my son came to pick us up. I had to leave the car until the next day.
