Car lost power while driving-- it operated at a limp at first-- just prior to that went forward quick, then it just stalled while driving while in gear. The gas just made the engine rev. The car the next day after getting towed operated and the same thing happened while the service station took the car for a test drive. They had to tow it back. This same problem was fixed under warranty (20,000 on approx. 03/2008). It happened again. Ford refused to agree that there is something wrong with the design etc. If this had happened on the highway at highway speeds the results could have been tragic. I think it has something to do with the throttle problem... the car limps just as everyone as complained about. I have no idea what was actually fixed under warranty as the parts mean nothing. Pistons, gaskets, sensor turbi, hub plate asy, seals, and many other parts.

The car just lost power while driving. Surged a bit then was operating at reduced power like it was limping eventually it just stalled and the gas would just rev the engine. Ford fixed the car under warranty. If this has happened at highway speeds in traffic it would have caused a severe accident as cars would have been dodging a stalled car at highway speeds-.

I was driving to work and car began to make a loud rattle noise, od light flashed (od off) and pulled over. I attempted to pull back on road and car would not shift into 2nd gear. Transmission problem. $1800 repair. Now 2013 exactly 3 years later and car begins same thing all over again. Diagnostic test states needs new transmission. Told these cars have had these problems from the get go. Ford knows this! the problem is coolant is located in radiator and does not keep trans from overheating. I am now told it will be $3650 for another trans. This is a total mess. It is not fair to the consumer who still owes $16,000 on this car. I bought this car with the hopes of repairing my damaged credit and made all routine service and flushes as scheduled on time. Now what to do" I cant afford another transmission, and am without a car and continue to have a car payment or my credit that I have finally got back on track is ruined once again! can anyone offer me advice on what to do" help!
