“On 1/1/2016 I was driving on 495 w in queens, ny heading back to manhattan where I live. Out of nowhere the car began jerking, a wrench light on the dash panel came on (which I never saw before) and I could tell the car was decelerating. I tried hitting the accelerator again, the car would jerk, the engine was revving but was barely moving. I knew I had to pull over and luckily I was able to navigate to the shoulder of the road. This was an extremely dangerous situation. …”

“As my daughter was driving on the freeway, the engine suddenly lost power and she had to work her way to the side across 3 lanes of heavy traffic with no power. Our mechanic replaced the throttle body at our expense. The news today indicated that you were investigating the circuit board which controls the throttle and we wanted you to know that this problem was a threat to her safety and appears to be occurring to many people. This was the fourth time the vehicle has stopped while driving.”

“On october 18, 2018 I received the power steering assist failure error on my instrument panel when turning on my vehicle. I had driven it earlier in the day without issue. Previously I had the occasional warning noise and quick flash of an error (too quick for me to read all the way) and would have momentary difficulty turning. This issue makes it almost impossible to steer the vehicle. Research indicates that it is most likely a malfunctioning torque sensor. I reached out to ford after learning of recalls for the 2009 model year. I was informed that my VIN was not included in the recall. …”

“I was leaving work and driving down a road at about 50mph when all of a sudden my car jumped and I then was coming up to a red light so I was braking and behind a car. At the red light I was a few inches from hitting the car because my car kept jumping forward. I then got scared and turned my car off and back on and it was driving fine. Then all of a sudden it did the same thing and I couldn't accelerate I would press on the gas and my car was just shaking and losing speed and wouldn't move. Thankfully I didn't drive the highway home that day.”
