Loud crackling/popping/static sound comes from radio at random intervals, radio then stops producing sound, have to turn the car off, open & shut door, then turn car back on then radio starts working again. Safety concern is the loudness of the sound coming at random times is startling and can cause an involuntary jerk/jump. Numerous people have had the same issue- one example is this forum:…

While driving a loud static and popping noise started happening coming from the speakers. It startled me and i had to pull over on the highway because it was so loud and hurt my ears and my child's ears. When i pulled over i pushed the button to turn off the radio but the noise kept on going. I then turned the car off and it was still making the loud noises. We got out the car because it was very loud and over…

Over the past 1 + years my radio would randomly make a hissing and cracking sound followed by a loud pop and stop working. Both the radio and blue tooth capabilities were disabled. Restarting the car would solve the problem. I have tried several times to update the sync/radio, but have not been successful. As per the ford sync web site, i used well above the minimums storage (2gb) and had a properly formatted usb…

I have had my pre-owned vehicle for 1 1/2 years and have had continuous issues with my trunk popping open randomly. It opens anywhere and at random times. I've had it open while driving down the interstate, which is a huge safety hazard, potentially having things from trunk fly out and hit another motorist. It has been looked at twice by baxter ford in omaha, ne. They can never seem to find the issue or have it…

The powershift transmission contains one or more design and/or manufacturing defects that cause problems and unsafe conditions, including, but not limited to, suddenly lurching forward, delayed acceleration, and sudden loss of forward propulsion. The transmission has a very sluggish shift between the first and second gears and the upshift bogs down like the vehicle might stall and erratically shifting in second and…

Problem with the transmission has a very delayed shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear and it is an automatic. Can hear the gears slip and grind when trying to change lower gears ... Especially going up any type of hill.could cause a wreck when pulling off a side street to main road or when going up a hill it can't almost feel like the engine is going to drop out the bottom of the car and the car to rolling backwards.
