Consumer Description

A WARNING INDICATOR WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH STATING "ENGINE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW". THE CAR SHUDDERS, JERKS, HESITATES AND CAN STALL WHEN THE THROTTLE IS PUSHED. PULLING OVER, POWERING THE CAR DOWN, AND TURNING IT BACK ON SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY RESOLVE IT. ISSUE MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES SINCE THIS WAS SERVICED IN AUGUST OF 2016. AFTER 5 TRIPS TO THE DEALER WITH REPAIRS RELATED TO THE WIRING HARNESS, I WAS TOLD IT WAS RESOLVED. THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED STARTING IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. WENT TO THE FORD DEALER AGAIN AND THEY FAILED TO DIAGNOSE. DROVE IT TO THE DEALER IN FAILURE MODE WITH WARNING DISPLAYED TO PROVE THERE IS AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE ERROR DISPLAY.
