The car stalls when I fill up the gas tank. The car also loose power as it takes off from a stop and has to be restarted several times before it restarts which then causes the battery light, oil light, and check engine light to come on indicating that something is wrong. The act like it wants to stall whenever I come to a complete stop in traffic and this is a very stressful and sometimes horrifying feeling traveling at highway speeds and driving in traffic jams in the northern Virginia area. This problem started about 5 months ago. With 1.5 million customers and their families in danger of having an accident Ford buy back all of these cars because they are too dangerous to drive on the highways.. please advise..

Vehicle fuel gauge is off by 50 miles + - 10 miles. Vehicle stalls after filling fuel take to full level. Engine check light stays on solid after the first time the vehicle ran out of gas. Transmission is loud and grinds when making turns and has a jerking motion when increasing and decreasing speed.

On 10/27/2018 approximately 1330 after making a right turn onto 29 in warrenton headed towards culpeper going about 45mph the car sputtered and stalled. Took 3 times to get the vehicle restarted. Then did it again after making a left onto 17 in bealeton. The vehicle would get up to about 20 mph and just stall in traffic. This is becoming a major safety issue especially having my 12 year old in the vehicle with me.

Approximately at 30000 miles while still under warranty I brought the vehicle to sheehy of warrenton because while on rte 28 in sterling va the vehicle was intermittently jerking sputtering and stalling. Dealer stated they couldn't find any issues because no code was present. On 10/18/18 I brought the car in again because the car stalled multiple times while in motion. They stated that code says low fuel pressure sensor and they would have to replace that first to see. I noticed today there are recalls for the exact issue I'm having but recalls are only on the 2.0 model mine is the 1.0.
