While driving at approximately 65 MPH, the car stalled. The car would not start again retiring towing to repair shop. The repair shop said the fuel pump was bad. Other vins for this year/make/model were recalled for this exact issue. I was told my VIN was not included in the recall. I believe it should have been included. I had to pay to repair an issue that should have been covered by the recall.

Vehicle stalls randomly and dies at low speeds, ford will not address it as a part of their recalls, was told I need to pay for all repairs out of pocket, very dangerous to drive on the highway and sporadic occurrences of stalling. Engine and wrench light will randomly come on and off before the vehicle begins stalling. It will quite literally sieze up on occasion and not be able to accelerate. Vehicle will also randomly die in the middle of driving using gears 2-3.

I leased the car through my bank on may 5th 2016 with just over 35,000 miles. Two months into that the car didn't start and all electronic lights were flickering. It displayed transmission malfunction. I towed the car to a big ford repair shop. They said it needed a new transmission update and a new clutch. They took care of it. This has happened seven (7) times since I got the car may 2016. Pretty much every four months. It is completely inconvenient and costly. I have also been having problems with the evap fuel components. I have a check engine light on now and it needs to be serviced. The last time I got a transmission update from ford was in march 2019. My car now barely has 66,200 miles so it's very disappointing the amount of work and transmission issues I've had to deal with. I still owe $4,800 on the car. I leased it for $12,000. I am hoping I am able to get some help or some kind of compensation for dealing with the issues for years. I traded in a good working jeep to get this car because I thought it would be good on gas and economical. This is my first ford car. I will probably never buy another ford car. I wouldn't want to get burned again. Thank you for your time.
