While driving on the freeway the engine suddenly lost power, stuttered, misfired, ran very rough and "buckled". I was unable to maintain speed and had to turn off the freeway a the next exit. I was able to reach a safe location in "crawl mode" from where the car had to be towed to the dealership. The check engine light was not lit before but stayed on during and after this incident, which was the first time it happened. The dealer confirmed the problem and identified the throttle body as the failed component, it is sticky on the inside and may have been stuck in a position that did not allow me to drive anymore. It is UNKNOWN if the dealer has initiated getting the vehicle or any faulty parts inspected by anyone else. Unrelated to this incident this vehicle had the entire engine replaced in March 2022, ref TSB...

On 129, 2023 I was driving on a highway 40 miles outside of Las Vegas Nevada and my car started shaking horribly and I took the nearest exit and had it towed and had a scan done on it on 1/30/2023.

Took them four days to diagnose a problem and was told that it would cost $1200 to repair. They had my car for one week and was told by Ford it would not be covered. The car has 50,000 miles on it and six months left on the hundred thousand mile powertrain warranty. After paying the $1200 I was told by the dealer not to drive it as it was unsafe and to have it towed. It is now in the hands...

The vehicle check engine light has lit up on multiple occasions.

My teenager drives this vehicle and we are now anxious about the reliability of the car. We paid over blue book value for the vehicle.

Driving home from work 8/3 the transmission began to slip, RPM’s going wild & the car stalling mid drive. When taking off from a stop the vehicles behind me often almost rear ended me because the car would only go 5-10 mph. Then all the sudden would get up to speed quickly only to slip again. Drove it the following morning to the dealership just before work. Same issues as the day before except there was a red warning to service the transmission right away due to failure. 80,000 miles seems to be when this Ford 2017 transmission is famous for going out completely. The dealer was more concerned about accepting zero liability while charging an exorbitant amount for a rental car & declaring the car out of warranty so not their issue.
