The vehicle is straining to pick back up speed once it comes to a stop or slows down. There also seems to be a clicking sound coming from the transmission on the driver side. It seems to have trouble switching over the years because it's a dual transmission I'm suspecting something's wrong with the clutch there seems to be a shutter.

I have been experiencing transmission problems including the car stalling when accelerating while trying to complete turns in traffic during turn signals. I have at one point a situation at a stop light where brakes were applied and car went forward unexpectedly. Additionally since almost the beginning of the vehicle it has run rough, sometimes having difficulty changing gears, multiple incidents where it stalled when accelerating on interstate. Had 2 different repairs to review problem, including ford computer fix that was supposed to help, but did not. This happened multiple times for these instances. Instance I demoted on calendar involved vehicle stalling at turns which has happened multiple times as well

Parked and engine off: when refueling, the gas builds up, as it "burps" gas spills out under the car wheel and on to the pavements. The refueling takes forever, since we purchased it - we smelled our hands & shoes smelling like gas, but didn't connect it immediately to fuel system issue since it was a new car.

Purge valve caused fuel tank to be sucked in 3/4 of an inch. While driving I have surging and when stopped the idle is erratic and bounces between 1000 to 2000 RPM. Causes code p0300 to come and go and also p0497 to come and go. Extremely hard for dealerships to find the problem. I have video and picture proof of issue.

The natural vacuum leak detection pump on my vehicle needs to be replaced . A review on line shows that this device which is part of the emissions system is continuously backordered for months. Indicatiing a high failure rate. This pump is essential in that it permits the car to be filled at a gas pump. In failure you can only fill a gallon at a time before the valve in it closed and you have to remove the nozzle and start again.

This car has been a nightmare . I complained about transmission and catalytic converter. I now notice that the fuel is not getting the an mount. I m averaging 20 to 25 miles even though it says 33. I see it jumps. I called they said plugs don't have to change until 40000 miles. The milage is moving even though I am driving in a 10 mile radius.

This vehicle has been in for service four times for the same issue. The issue is the throttle pedal sensor. While driving, the vehicle will lose power and the service lights illuminate. If in cruise control, the cruise control shuts down and the vehicle loses power without warning. On the interstate, this requires an immediate action to avoid an accident. I was able to reset the car by shutting it down and restarting. The repairs only stopped the problem for 10-12k miles.

My check engine cluster came on the one with the wrench, I immediately took it in to the dealership the airport marina. I got there at 7:45 am I was met with agitation when I told him my check engine warning came on I needed to know what it meant. I also included could he fix the recall that came in the mail for the 14e08 he said that they weren't doing the transmission recall for another 6 weeks. I told him I was unaware of transmission recall. Both of our attitudes changed his of quiet mine of quiet and shock. He let me leave without fixing any of the recalls gave me an oil change, failed to tell me of why my check engine light came on and never put it in my invoice. I called him back and asked him why he didn't fix, tell me or set me up with and appointment to get my recalls repaired? He tried to tell me other things I needed instead at a cost. I was upset but made a appointment and called customer relations. However after going online I got the real picture! When I first bought the car I returned it after two weeks because of the very thing on the internet, the shuddering, hesitation in moving forward and it didn't seem like the gas was getting to where it needed to go. So the car would jerk and poot and shake along with rattle noise. It also leaked in my drive way. I thought maybe someone parked in my stall after I went for work. Not the case. I took it in, they said it was normal, each and every time. They even said we will look at it and said it was a minor thing that they adjusted. I never saw it on paper so I thought they were treating me well and fixing things for free without a paper trial. And they were!! Now that the check engine light came on and they reset it and did not do the recalls sent up red flags. That is considered my first denial of service on record, I foolishly let them get away with the others. Will take it to another ford dealership.

Transmission issues since purchasing the car brand new in 2013. Car jerks and accelerates sporadically. When taking off from a stop the car does not respond to pushing on the gas, but will then suddenly take off. It moves through the gears in a clunky manner. Makes grinding noises upon acceleration. The car rolls back on hills. I do not feel safe driving this car. Ford have no responded in a helpful manner to my enquires and appear not to be able to fix the problem.
