The car lost power when entering the freeway. It was misfiring and was not able to keep up with the speed limit. The repair shop found the coil was melted and cracked. The engine misfired #6 cylinder. The PCM module did not shut down the cylinder to prevent the misfire, which resulted in the destruction of the ignition coil, and PCM module. The new PCM module had to be purchased from ford as no after market existed. The repair bill was over two thousand dollars. We were told this could have started a fire. Hoping the new module works properly.

On approximately 7/6/2016, while in motion, traveling north on riverside drive -I-55 north, on the 2-lane overpass at I-55 & mclemore, 18 wheeler was to the right and I was behind another motorist in line and traveling about 70 MPH with a line of vehicles behind, it was after work rush hour 4:45pm; when as I am driving the vehicle sputters, seemed to it lose power, decelerates in the middle of on going traffic. The engine light flashed and then stayed illuminated, I could not accelerate in order get off to the side of the highway and traffic was at a very fast flow. My sync system surged, a-c stopped blowing cold air, the vehicle started "missing" but the vehicle did not shut off. Took the vehicle to advance auto parts store and was told that I had a misfire in 3 of the ignition coils, bought replacement coils and had all 6 of them replaced. Start the vehicle and the engine light was cleared but came right back, the vehicle is still miss firing on the exact same coils this time along with the PCM. Out of hundreds of dollars at the moment and it looks like I will be out of $3000 to ford for an issue that they know is faulty within the design of the computer. We've already paid $30,000 for the vehicle, why would ford not recall and repair these issues if they are aware of it????

I pulled out of my driveway and everything was fine. I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as I gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the A/C went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it off and then turned it back on and that's when the check engine light came on. We pulled the code and it was p0352 (ignition coil 2 or PCM) so we bought and changed all spark plugs and coil 2. This still didn't fix the problem. So I took it in to the dealership and $3000 later they had to replace my PCM (the main computer that run the car) all 6 coils and spark plugs. I did a lot of research about my car having this problem and it seems like a lot of people are having the same issue. Please recall this. My computer should not have gone out when I do regular maintenance on my car.
