The power steering went out. This most likely is related to the known issue like other Ford vehicles with power steering issues or power steering going out while driving.

The vehicle's engine continues to run after turning off and removing the keys. After the engine has stopped running it is also draining the battery.

I received a recall notice from AutoNation Ford Miami but with no description or recall number. I took it to AutoNation Ford Miami for recall service. After my car was inspected I was told no recall service can be performed due to equipment no longer made/available. something about computer transmission system I believe but I'm not sure. I check online through VIN number and now it reflect my car has 0 recalls due to being fixed but nothing was done to fix recall.

Hesitation and jerking at take off from stop light. Engine stalling out when take off from a light. Without warning.

The stereo/radio emits a very loud popping/cracking noise. The noise happens whether the car is turned or off. This puts the driver and passengers in danger because having a loud noise randomly happen while driving can cause the driver to jerk the wheel as a reflex/reaction. This can cause an accident on the road, putting the driver and passengers at risk, along with other vehicles and it-??s passengers at risk. The manufacturer has not acknowledged the issue, and no guidance has been issued for owners. There are no warning lights or messages in place. This happens randomly and is very scary.

Several times while driving, the radio will make a loud cracking sound from the speakers, other times it will *crack* and all radio/bluetooth controls stop working, and other times the radio will *crack* and stop working entirely, where there is no sound until the car is turned off, and turned on again.

I have a recall on my car for having door handle latch problems. It has lowered the estimated amount my car is worth. Would love if someone could solve this uncalled for issue for me before my door latches end up breaking and causing me to get hurt or someone else.

I drove to work and everything that morning but when it was time for me to go home, out of nowhere when I turned my car on it said steering loss. I wasn't able to turn my wheel or anything, so I had to get it towed. Thank god I was not on the road and it locked up on me because there's no telling what would've happened.

I brought it in for skipping 3rd and 5th gear and Ford said that it was the recall but because they already fixed it they said it won't be covered and I have to pay 1400 out of pocket!!
