Country ford stated that they fixed the issue. I called them the same day that the issue was still on going. They stated that it might have been the reset of the computer. I'm very concern the issue was not fix because the needed part wasn't available at the time. The car still stalls when it's at half a tank and completely stalls when it's at a quarter tank. This is not safe to be driving down highways or in a busy…

We received a recall notification for my vehicle in december 2018 from ford. We were told that as long as the gas tank is filled at 1/2 a tank, the vehicle is safe to drive. Since we received the letter, my vehicle has stalled on the highway three separate times, each time resulting in the car having to be pushed to a safer location. It doesn't seem like anything is being done to fix the situation and it's becoming…

They will not provide a loaner/rental vehicle and the local dealer will not either. They both tell me the same thing about half a tank of fuel. But it is not safe to drive due to the…

I bought the vehicle at 30,000 miles on it with a new transmission that ford had to replace due to the faulty original one the car came with. 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…

My vehicle has died on me while driving down the road and after getting gas it does not want to start and will sputter and act like it is going to die, or die or it will be very hard to start. The car will just die at stop signs and is very dangerous. You can not tell if there is gas or not because the gauge does not work and will go to full even if you only put one dollar in and then at half a tank it will go back…
