| I financed my car brand new oct 31, 2009, a week later i took it in to dealer because there was rust covering the whole under side. ford sent me away & said this was normal. around dec 2009 there was a loud noise & felt like the engine had literally dropped to the ground. never happened again. the gas also sometimes pauses to accelerate & suddenly jumps forward skipping a gear & jerks the car. passenger airbag panel is partially open & when i push on it, i hear crinkling & it pops back open. the easy fill gas feature allows gas to leak out causing a ring of gas to form below the opening on the exterior panel. i'm so unhappy with these issues i'm here for help. | |||

| The car will put the automatic transmission in neutral when stopped, and will require an acceleration to cause the car to enter first gear. when this happens, the car lurches forward. this is not every time, but is inconsistent, and leads to a risky situation where there may be a moment of unresponsiveness. the dealer has not been able to replicate the problem. | |||
