Consumer Description
NOVEMBER 2016 WHILE I WAS COMING FROM THE GROCERY STORE MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND COMPLETELY STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND DROVE FOR A GOOD 2 MINUTES AND IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT THIS TIME I WAS IN THE STREET. AFTER LETTING MY VEHICLE SIT FOR 15 MINUTES IT DID EVENTUALLY START BACK UP AND DROVE SMOOTHLY. BUT THAT WASN'T THE LAST TIME MY CAR WOULD JUST SUDDENLY STOP. IN DECEMBER I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPEN TO MY CAR. THE CHECK MY FLUIDS AND TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG (WHICH WAS A LIE). EVERYDAY SINCE NOVEMBER IF I DRIVE MY CAR TOO MUCH, IT SHUTS OFF. IF I AM ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, MY CAR WILL JUST TURN OFF. NOW FEBRUARY, I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE (ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE) AND MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. CALL FORD MOTOR AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE ENGINE, CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TOWED TO THEM , BECAUSE THE PART MIGHT NOT BE INCLUDED IN MY WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS 76,000. I DO MY OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE ON TIME, AND ALWAYS GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE TURNS ON WHILE I'M DRIVING WITHOUT ME EVEN PUSHING THEM (CREEPY). MY SEAT BELT DOESN'T REALLY RESTRAIN ME AND MY SEAT DOESN'T REALLY MOVE BACK AND FORWARDS LIKE IT SHOULD.
