The manager refused to order parts or work on the vehicle and told me the mechanic was on vacation. I went back again to have the other recall items worked on, the manager said it was still a "no go," and i'd have to wait two months to get my unsafe car looked at...

A year after buying the car off a ford dealership lot the transmission dies again at 70,000 miles. Two transmissions needing replaced in this vehicle and ford won't pay to fix the transmission the second time. Even after they discovered the cause of the transmission breaking…

The vehicle sound system, radio, is making a loud popping noise, even when the radio is off and the radio is not working. My mother, owner of the vehicle is 79. This loud popping noise, is startling, which causes her to panic, which in my opinion is a safety factor. I've read on the internet that this is happening to many ford models including hers. The ford dealer states it is $105 just for them to trouble shoot.…

Faulty transmission. While driving the lights would come on that the transmission is overheating and the car would come to a halt. We took it in once to have it fixed and had to pay $1500 for them to replace parts in the transmission because they were not covered under the recall. Our car still shudders. We have had nothing but trouble with this car which isn't even paid off yet.

The vehicle- whether stationary, in motion, or driving- emits random loud cracks and pops from the speakers. Even if my radio is turned off- the randomness of it is so scary that it is a driving hazard. I reached out to ford and they will not fix it.

The check engine light came on and my car starts jerking and skidding and slowing down. I was scared and didn't know what to do because i had my daughter in the car. I called my technician and he said that a code came up on my car p087a. He said that the code has to do with the transmission, as the fault is a common fault with this type of transmission that ford started using in 2001. I'm trying to see if this…

The car is stalling and has a rough idle. Within 2 weeks my car stalled and then shut down while driving 55 mph on the highway and would not restart or stay on once i got it pulled over to side of the road. I was lucky that there was no one directly behind me on the road otherwise it would have been a really bad disaster. Gas mileage said i had over 100 miles to empty. Paid to get it towed twice and when taken to…
