Consumer Description
IN JULY OF 2018 THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED WHILE IT WAS IN THEIR CARE. THE ONE DEALERSHIP DID AN INSTALL AND PROGRAM G10 ELECTRICAL/DRIVEABILITY?! THE VEHICLE DIDN'T STALL AGAIN UNTIL TWICE THIS MONTH JUNE 2019. IT OCCURRED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING 15 MINUTES IT STARTED UP AGAIN...LESS THAN ONE WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 40MPH. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY. I WAS ON A RURAL ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO USE WHATEVER MOMENTUM WAS LEFT TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD 8-10 CARS BEHIND ME AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. HOW I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IS STILL BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. FORD NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE!!! I AM NOT THE FIRST!!! THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP!!
