When I bought the car had engine light on so replace the spark plugs and put new battery problem still there. Had a mechanic check out and he said codes reading fuel problem so change out the fuel pump and put injector cleaner. Problem still there he said maybe the computer so now I don't know what to do. The problem is check engine light on and when you step on the throttle does not go pass 3000 RPM.

The fuel system is malfunctioning. The fuel tank has a crack caused by a welding point on the fuel tank was broken loose. Over time I saw my fuel gauge drop dramatically. This causes me to get gas more often.

Electronic throttle body a major complaint and causes the car to have no throttle response. Elderly mother got stuck on a hill and could not get car rest of the way up the hill to safety. Page after page of this complaint on internet. Ford aware of these issues and still refuses to launch a recall. Part cost $500+ for the part and dealer wants another $300+ for install. Absolutely disgusting to have elderly or women with infant children stuck on roadways with this issue. Will never but ford again based on my experience with this issue and them turning their back on this known problem.

Suspension: continuous rattle issues in the rear suspension. Bushings? Sway bars?? Who knows. No one can seem to pinpoint the problem. Happens only during driving. Consistent noise from the rear. Fuel: problems with fuel sensor. Failed reading. All gauges light up. Run obd and all fluid levels / pressure fine. No reason for the failure. Dealership told me the throttle body was an issue and the sensor inside same. However, after numerous web based searches I found that throttle body issues are definitely an issue. Found that removing the air cleaner box for filter replacement can cause sensor issues. Why? Since my last oil change I have had at least three failures here. This is dangerous, expensive and should be taken care of.

Bought the vehicle used in may 2010. Realized early-on that the transmission was not smooth, but willing to settle for less than perfection since it was a 2005 vehicle. In late 2012 or early 2013, I received 'recall' notice that PCM (I.e. - powertrain control module) could need to be reprogrammed due to stalling, herky-jerky transmission, etc. Took car to dealership, they ran diagnostics, charged me $100, and told me that my car wasn't effected because no error codes were noted and check engine light wasn't on. I was not happy, and refused to take my car to the dealership for repair. Problem persisted, until check engine light came on in october 2017 at roughly 125,000 miles. Took to local mechanic, was charged $150 for sensor replacement. Light came back on a day later. Took back, replaced sensor for free (nice!), but light back on a day later. Took to a different mechanic, was charged $250, replaced multiple sensors, light back on the next day. Took back to 2nd mechanic, when they shared with me that it was likely the PCM and the dealership would need to fix. Called dealership 3 days in a row, on hold for nearly an hour the 3rd time, was never connected to a service writer or tech, left 3 voice mails for service manager and was never called back. Researched issue and found the federal safety agency action number pe11018, where ford initiated a customer satisfaction program 12n03 to extend coverage terms of repair of engine idle RPM surge caused by PCM needing reprogramming with software containing updated idle speed control. Per the federal safety agency, symptoms associated with the condition may include check engine light, diagnostic codes (dtcs) p0505, p0506, or p061b. Ford issued bulletin tsb 11-10-21 that included updated powertrain control calibration.

At low speeds, when turning and when accelerating from a stop, the car will shake, lunge and then shut off. Sometimes it just shakes and hesitates and then keeps going. Sometimes it takes a while to get it running again. It always happens when the car is in motion. A couple of times this happened, the transmission error codes were displayed. I have had the transmission checked out and it was fine.
