The driver power steering system message goes on every so often and I have to turn off and on to reset the light, but my concern is that it’s going to go off as I’m driving, and the fuel mileage as I’m driving it says mileage to empty and one time I was trying to get to the gas station and it hit 0 and it was still going the car, and the suspension makes noise when I go over the bumps and also when I’m reversing and turning the wheel there’s a popping sound from the front it sounds like,

My car just dies while I'm driving. Are there recalls I haven't been notified about that could be causing this? If so, how do I get it repaired in the most expeditious manner. I only have the one car and it is pretty unsafe at this point.

I was getting gas and I cut my car off when I got back into my car it did not start. I continued to start it. Car would not start. I popped the hood and touched the battery some and tried starting the car the car started then about 5 minutes after driving it suddenly cuts off. This is a ongoing issue. Car suddenly stops in the middle of street almost causing accidents that can nearly kill someone!!! Very unsafe and extremely dangerous. This happened on highway and street. And its so random no signs just cuts off at any speed.

The wrench light comes on and the vehicle cuts off it will start back up but it's random and cuts off anytime it wants. It's done this while parked and moving. Throttle body extended warranty. My car is under the 150,000 miles and met the requirements for this to be replaced and I took it to ravenel ford ravenel sc and was told that because they didn't get that code that they we're allowed to fix it

Throttle control/transmission wrench symbol lluminates when the powertrain or a awd fault has been detected. If the indicator stays on or continues to come on, which it does. Then car will continue to run but jerks and lunges. Pressing on the accelerator does absolutely no good. I do not feel safe driving said car. Thank the dear lord I was not pulling out on u.s. 98 in navarre fl. I was still in my neighborhood and was able to chug my way back home. Tomorrow, 06/22/2020 will be having car towed to a professional and licensed mechanic. Vehicle has sufficient fuel, that is not the problem. After mechanic has evaluated situation I will have documentation to submit.
