| Upon medium to heavy acceleration, such as accelerating onto a freeway, the vehicle cabin is filled with exhaust fumes from the engine. this injures the respiratory system of the passengers. ford has finally admitted that there is a problem, and they are working on a fix (after my family has been breathing polluted air for almost 1.5 years). | |||

| Purchased this vehicle for my wife a little over a year ago. at first everything was fine but then at about four months we started having issues with the window not rolling up. the dealer took care of that issue with no problems. then we take it in for the scheduled maintenance (oil change/tire rotation) & our tires had inside cupping in which the dealer does nothing about & still have not. at around 22k miles my wife notices the vehicle starting to jerk when stopped or moving. over the past 8k miles this gets worse & gets to where the vehicle has stalled out numerous times (still or moving). i have made an appointment with the dealer to resolve this issue. not sure the cause yet. *tr | |||

| When pulling out from a stop sign, the car accelerated up a hill reaching a speed of close to 90 mph within a short distance. the car was difficult to control and almost collided with an oncoming car. only by putting the transmission into neutral was it possible to slow the car down and pull off the road. once off the road the engine continued to run in the 6000 to 7000 rpm range. it was not possible to slow down the engine speed. after shutting off the engine and restarting, the engine continued to run at these high rpm. the car was towed to a ford dealer that evening (incident occurred in the evening). the next morning, i went to the car dealer and started the car. it ran fine. ford did replace the throttle body. car has been running fine but we are concerned it could happen again. | |||
