Filed May 28, 2023 · Engine · AR

My check engine light came on it was cylinder 2 misfire. Sputtering and stalling in traffic. Slow to excelarate, started losing coolant and blowing white smoke on start up. Stuck in traffic. Then the turbo blew out. Replaced turbo, replaced spark plugs replaced edition coil. Still cylinder 2 misfire. Still a rough idle, Still dies in traffic Still losing coolant, dies unexpectedly and then won't start. Replaced fuel pump about 3 years ago for it dying in the middle of sams club traffic lane. Currently issues with the other problems listed above. Have found out this is a common problem with these motors. I called Ford and was told it's because I have 112,000 miles on my car. I've never missed a service, never driven the car hard, never over heated it. I have taken excellent car of this vehicle. Currently waiting for another diagnostic test. We pay to much for these cars to be stuck in traffic and have the engines go out and so many problems with them. Yes this car can be inspected at any time. Ford needs to recall this engine and fix its mistake. This is not okay. And it's dangerous to continue to let people drive these vehicles.

My car was parked after driving around 2 miles and had been off for around 2 hours.when I returned to car, it would not start and gave me a message saying key was required. Dashboard lights, radio, air blower came on but engine would not turnover, just made clicking sound. I thought key fob was problem so tried the spare one. While waiting for husband to bring extra fob I noticed air coming out of bents smelled like sulpher. When spare fob did not fix problem, we checked the battery and found that the positive battery terminal had excessive corrosion and it was so hot that it was bubbling and the teninal bolt had completely corroded and fell off upon touch. Upon inspection, we also saw that the corrosion had also damaged the end of the battery cable. Five days prior my vehichle would not start after driving around 30 minutes and also said "key required" but when I took the fob apart th o look for battery and put it back together my car started on the next try. Other than that incident, there had been no prior warning that anything was wrong with the battery and I had no issues starting my car.

I bought a new 2016 mustang in april. I was driving uphill at 40 MPH. All of the sudden the engine cut off. When the engine went off a large wrench came up on the display and it said see manual. I tried pressing the start button but it would not start. I had to come to a complete stop, put the car in park and then was able to restart it. This could easily lead to death! If this would happen on the beltway or I-95 I could get killed. The car didn't overheat and all the gauges showed normal. Now I am afraid to even drive it; I don't want to be killed or kill someone if the engine stops.
