FORD Complaints

ON NOW 4 OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD AN ACCELERATOR STUCK IN WIDE OPEN CONDITION. ON 3 OF THEM, IT INVOLVED PASSING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ON THE LATEST (10/22/16), IT HAPPENED ON A HARD ACCELERATION IN CITY CONDITIONS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM SLOW TO FASTER SPEED. IN EACH EVENT, PRESSING ON THE BRAKE DID HOLD BACK SPEED, BUT FULL ACCELERATION RESUMED IF BRAKE WAS RELEASED AT ALL. VERY LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENT / DEATH!

THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING (DPAS) SYSTEM ON MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE IS UN-DRIVABLE ABSENT EXTREME FORCE. EMERGENCY MANEUVERS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE VEHICLE IS UTTERLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND RESETTING THE ECU HAVE NO EFFECT.

THE FORD EV CHARGE CORD (FORD PART NO. FM58-10B706AC) THAT CAME WITH MY 2013 CMAX ENERGI DRAWS TOO MUCH CURRENT AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. I JUST FILED A VEHICLE COMPLAINT (NO. 10904811) WITH PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MELTED CORD AND BURN MARKS ON MY OUTLETS, DESCRIBING THE HAZARD IN DETAIL. IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS CORD OR A SIMILARLY DESIGNED CORD IS USED WITH THE FORD FOCUS ENERGI AND FORD FUSION ENERGI SO THIS HAZARD SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS AN EQUIPMENT DEFECT AND NOT JUST A VEHICLE DEFECT.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION SINCE I PURCHASED NEW IN 2014. WHEN ACCELERATING IT WILL JERK AND LURCH FORWARD. ALSO WHEN DE-ACCELERATING TO LOWER SPEEDS. WORSE WHEN A/C IN USE. ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT THREE MONTHS AGO. I HAD A TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE TO GREEN JUST AS I GOT TO IT. HAD SLOWED AND WHEN I ACCELERATED THE CAR JERKED ME INTO THE OTHER LANE. I CALLED MY DEALER AND TOOK THE CAR IN. TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO TRADE IN IF THEY COULDNT REPAIR. LAST WEEK, I SPOKE WITH THE MAN WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND MADE APPT. TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. BUT ON WEDNESDAY AUGUST 1ST, I WAS DRIVING HOME IN A 25 MPH ZONE. A CAR HAD STOPPED ON THE SIDE SO I TAPPED MY BRAKES TO SLOW EVEN MORE WHEN THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED ME INTO THE CURB AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR OFF THE CURB IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. LATER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR BEFORE TOWING. HAS ALMOST $4000 IN DAMAGE. THANKFIUL NO ONE WAS HURT. BUT, FORD NEED TO DO SOMETHING.

HI I HAVE 2005 FORD F-150 WITH THE 5.4 3V. I HAVE SERVICES THE TRUCK EXACTLY LIKE THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS. THE ENGINE KNOCKS EXTREMELY BAD AT OPERATING TEMP. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL JUST KEEP DRIVING IT. I TOLD THEM I HAD POWER LOSS AND IT WASN'T RUNNING RIGHT. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIX FOR AROUND 7000 DOLLARS BUT THAT FORD HASN'T ISSUED NO RECALL. I BELIEVE THESE 5.4 3V ARE DANGEROUS TO HAVE ON THE ROAD, THEY COULD CAUSE A WRECK OR WORSE. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY BUILD AND WHAT WE PAY OUT OUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR.

HAD 3 FAILURES WITH DTC P2111 WHILE TRAVELING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER AND THE ETB (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY) PART # AT4Z 0E926B. MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS ETB SINCE 2005. NHTSA COMPLETED ITS INVESTIGATION IN 2014 HOWEVER THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE. TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE OUT. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON

IN A 2016 FORD FUSION AT 14,000 MILEAGE, WHILE IN THE TRAVEL LANE MY CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE RESULTING IN A DEACCELERATION TO 0. CONSEQUENTLY LEAVING ME IN A TRAVEL LANE WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER SAFELY. I AM PART OF A 15 CAR FLEET WHERE 6 OF THE FLEET HAD A SIMILAR OCCURANCE AT 14,000 TO 16,000 MILES. WHILE MY CAR IS IN MAINTENANCE I WAS PUT IN A FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING THE FORD EXPLORER THE EXACT EVENT HAPPENED, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, WHERE THE CAR LOSS THE ABILITY TO ACCERATE AND QUICLKLY WENT TO 0 MILES WHILE IN A TRAVEL LANE, THIS FORD EXPLORER ALSO A 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 14,000 MORE MILEAGE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2016 FORDS. MY FORD FUSION IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM 6/30/16 TO TODAY 8/09/16, I AM TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHAT NOW...DUE TO THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ON THE PA TURNPIKE WITH NO SHOULDER, TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, FEEL LUCKY THERE WAS NOT AN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO THIS INCIDENT

2007 FORD EDGE..TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON INTERSTATE (WHILE ON AN OUT-OF-TOWN TRIP) FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS...NO OVERDRIVE, SPEEDOMETER DEAD, ODOMETER DEAD, ORANGE WRENCH CAME ON, AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER (MIRACLE WE DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT) TURNED VEHICLE OFF, WAITED 2 LONG MINUTES, (TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TOW THIS VEHICLE HOME), STARTED CAR AND WENT DOWN THE ROAD WONDERING IF WE WERE GOING TO MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION AND BACK. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHAT TO DO. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO..

TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY VAN HAS A RECALL BUT MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME TOO BAD, I CANNOT GET MY VAN FIXED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT ADDED MY VIN# TO THE RECALL.
