Fuel pump breaks free from in-tank attachment point resulting in fuel level indicator malfunction and fuel starvation when corning, acceleration or abrupt deceleration. Causes unexpected lag in acceleration or vehicle may stall at inopportune times. Since original replacement of entire fuel tank assembly by ford the fuel sender in this vehicle has been repaired/replaced 2 additional times. Dealership noted that the plastic ring sender attaches to cracks and only way to repair is to replace entire fuel tank at cost of approx $900. Most recent 2 replacements occurred outside of extended warranty by a few days and ford refused to replace under warranty even though the vehicle had been parked over the winter and issue was not discovered until vehicle came out of storage after the extended warranty had expired. Repair had occurred in fall before vehicle went into storage. Each time fuel tank is replace ring cracks again, usually within 30-90days. This is a hazard as it is impossible to determine when the vehicle will experience fuel starvation or stalling, possibly resulting in accident or injury outside drivers ability to avoid.

Since it has gotten colder, the car start and you have to sit with your foot on the gas pedal for 5 or 10 mins or the car will stall out when you try to put out of where ever you are. Dangerous! Mechanic can't seem to find the problem, they think its a sensor but are not sure.

At speeds of 45 MPH or less, when downshifting and braking, the engine will stall. Power brakes, power steering, and A/C stop. Cannot "pop the clutch" to restart the motor. Must turn key to off and restart the vehicle. This is extremely dangerous as I have been downshifting and turning and have lost power steering in the turn and could hardly turn the wheel while the car was still in motion. This happens randomly and sporadically, and has done it since I purchased the vehicle new.
