Car started to stall while in motion, applied gas and was ok. At next stop light, the car stalled out. After trying to start a few times which it did but immediately stalled out. After sitting a few minutes, it started ok and was fine. Left car at dealer for 1 week, they could not find anything wrong. On 8/15/15, the wrench came on twice and then the engine check light stayed on. This was after a 215 mille drive on the interstate. Returned to dealer who now had computer codes. Electronic throttle body needed replacement. Part listed on bill says potentiometer ford part#6l2z-9b989-d. This now explains subtle accelerations that occurred on highway when it was not me applying pressure to the gas pedal.

Around one month after I bought the car intermittently the I would encounter surges when starting to go at lights or parking the car, coming to a stop... Now the car is stalling same as the surges... I have replaced many parts trying to resolve the issue. Now it has become a serious hazard to drive and costly!

Water first noticed leaking inside the vehicle on 5/2013 and was -tsb performed on seals at cowl panel. Car leak was not fixed and started leaking again at same sight, this time with extensive mold spore damage which can be a significant health risk. This car has had multiple(at least 5 times)check engine light coming on,several times the car has just stalled while driving and so far 2 batteries and 2 alternators have been put in to this car and it makes you wonder if water has been leaking since purchase into the electrical system of this car. This has been a known problem at ford since 2007 but a recall was never issued. I am not sure what it takes to issue a recall but I would hate it to be a respiratory illness or a crash that would bring it to this.

March 2010, just driving down the road and came to a stop sign, car died. Everything seemed fine until recently, july 2010, when the car stalled about 5-6 times while I was trying to cross the road in traffic. I had 2 people nearly run into me before I could actually get it pulled over to the side. Then, it wouldn't start back up with me. I had to let it set for a few mins, tried again and it finally started back up. Had it diagnosed at the ford dealership, and there is a throttle body issue, needs to be replaced. There is no rhyme or reason to when this happens. I have not had it replaced bec I am on unemployment and do not have the money right now. I need my car for interviews and a job when I finally find one. :(
