While driving on a busy interstate the rpms on my vehicle revved to 5000, wouldn't accelerate, and quickly slowed down. I was in the fast lane while traffic around me was going 75+ and was forced to pull over on the left shoulder with my dog in the vehicle at 9:30pm on a Friday night. Once stopped, my vehicle wouldn't move as I tried to go into reverse and wouldn't go over 25 mph while trying to go forward. I was stranded on the interstate for 2 hours waiting for a tow truck paid for out of pocket because my 'warranty expired due to high mileage'. my boyfriend had to leave school to also pull over behind me on the interstate and take the dog from my car to his on the busiest interstate in the state we live in. Mine, my dog's my boyfriend's lives were all in extreme danger due to the failure of a part on my vehicle I have had replaced twice already and is a known problem with the make model and year of my vehicle.

I received a recall notice a few months ago and I was told that I would receive another letter in about 3 months once the necessary parts were in stock. I hadn't received the follow up letter so I called my local Ford dealer and I was told that the parts were on back order but I could set up an appointment to have my vehicle inspected for corrosion to determine if I even needed the parts. The earliest appointment I could get was May 18th, just for the inspection; not even for the actual repairs. The recall is for the fuel vapor system and there's a warped part that is causing an inaccurate reading on fuel levels which means I have to maintain at least a half tank of gas at all times. My car is now leaking gas and stalling in traffic due to the issue. I live in a city with lots of steep inclines and hills and I have to avoid certain streets because my car has stalled and almost caused accidents. There is only one Ford dealer in my area. The only other dealer is about 30-40 minutes away.

I have been complaining of and dealing with a engine/transmission issue since purchasing this vehicle. I was told several times by my dealership that it is just the type of gas sipping engine the car has and it is normal. I am 50 years old and never had a car that responded as poorly this one has but also never had a car with special type of engine. It has stalled while entering an intersection a couple of times, lacks pick up sometimes or jolts (like transmission issues) when going from stopped position. It will sometimes jolts going up hills while car is switching gears as well at a normal back road speed. An engine recall was put out several months ago with no remedy yet. Now the engine light is coming on sometimes (after just having the car serviced and gone through for fluids, etc). My car has 50K miles on it only and is being driven by my son now. I am worried about the safety but don't want to sell it with open recalls and the lemon laws here in MA. I feel like I am stuck with a lemon myself. I want to know what timeframe they will be given to come up with a fix before someone is killed?
