NHTSA complaint #11064073, filed 2018-01, 22,500 miles“After filling the vehicle with fuel, the car will not start for at least 5 minutes. Once driving the rpms will fluctuate rapidly while I have my foot on the gas. The car will have trouble accelerating and then speed up and I have to be careful to stop it. If I have to stop and start too many times in traffic this will also cause the rpms to fluctuate and then the car will stall. I have to throw it in park and then try to restart real fast and when I restart it it accelerates quickly.”
NHTSA complaint #11233930, filed 2019-07, 55,000 miles“My car is having electrical issues, the transmission will over rev but my speed remains the same or decreases. The car will lose power over time and the pedal will become spongy. This has become a very large inconvenience and an extreme safety hazard to myself and my passenger. I was almost in a collision with another vehicle which would be deemed my fault even though it would me the vehicle malfunctioning. When contacting Ford dearborn and perry Ford they tell me there's nothing they can do or I can pay a fee.”
NHTSA complaint #11229503, filed 2019-07, 7,336 miles“I was driving my car one night and in the mist of driving , it was jerking really bad and the acceleration was going in and out . The car came to a complete stop and even though it was on and running it wouldn't move as if it was stuck , luckily before someone hit me behind it jumped back into to gear and started to move a little until it started to jerk again. I didn't go anywhere but 2 mins down the street and back home. Once I got home and was ready to leave again it wouldn't start anymore and now I no longer have a car and I haven't even had it long. …”
