Filed Oct 21, 2020 · Electrical, Fuel system · 230,000 miles · MS

Battery just goes dead over night. Signal lights melted and quit working. Cluster panel just shuts off while running and can't use air, radio, windows, locks, seats, etc. Car shuts off while driving down the road. Have replaced all parts suggested by codes. Still no fix. Wont shift from first gear after cluster panel shuts off. There are hundreds other complaints. This is dangerous and should be an electrical recall. Happens running driving and sitting still.

Door froze shut and ever since manually opening the message center states driver door ajar and passenger door ajar and they are not. But I can't reset driver controls until doors show closed. Have run code in my car and only code is p0193 fuel rail pressure sensor. No codes for doors.

Electronic throttle body stoppped working. Car abruptly lost all power in busy traffic, lucky to be alive. I was driving in the left lane and all of a sudden all power was gone and the car wouldn't go! I had it diagnosed by aaa repair shop in los angeles. Have to pay 900 to get new throttle body unit.

Wrench light came on and it feels like you lose power momentarily. When it kicks back in, it lunges and will almost give you whiplash. This happens sporadically during acceleration usually on a highway.

Vehicle was stalling out finally quit, had it towed to a ford dealer, was advise that the throttlebody had shorted out. They say it is not covered under the warranty. The engine was replace by the ford dealership due to a manufacture defect 6 years ago. The vehicle has less that 50,000 miles on. What estimate cost of repairing is $970.00. We have an extended warranty coverage. But I think for should fix it without charge.

When you shift from drive to reverse or reverse to drive, the vehicle lunges. And does it several times. Ford is aware but with only half fix the throttle problem, by cleaning it not replacing it. I spoke to a couple dealers and they both said the same thing, "that will only clean the affected part and that 65 per cent end up coming back and the customer ends up paying to $800.00 to $900.00 to replace the part. That ford will not replace the part even though it is a recall part". No crash yet. Have to be sure to keep foot on brake and keep plenty of distance from other vehicles / objects. Updated 09/19/13

Two problems: 1. Car surges sporadically (I.e. When pulling into parking space with foot on brake, car surges as if pressing the accelerator). 2. While driving all lights on dash go out, speedometer and tachometer go to zero. I had the throttle body replaced once (several months later, ford reimbursed me for the cost under customer satisfaction program 12n03. This solved the problem for several months. The problem is now re-occurring. Ford has indicated that they will not repair the car again. This seems to be a safety issue.
