When I first submitted the VIN# just one hour ago, it responded with 2 open recalls, now it is responding with only one! The one that magically dropped was a major safety issue , a possibility of a cracked fuel injector , which of course could start a fire at any time ! Why did it suddenly disappear?!

A few months ago, the engine light came on. Multiple diagnostics confirmed a vapor leak. We were told if we didn’t fix it, it would affect nothing. Now, if we put gas in, the car struggles to start or won’t start. This happens all the time since April 2025. We looked at recalls and there were 2 with the fuel system that were apparently done. We feel that they may have been improperly repaired? The dealer service said this problem happens all the time with Lincolns. We’re afraid to put gas in the tank. We don’t know what will happen next? Car stopping at lights? Too much vapor coming out now? Repair is all over the place price wise wherever we check…but we don’t want to be stuck at a gas station or have someone light a cigarette near the car with gas vapor leaking out!

There's a fuel system gas delivery malfunction. Vehicle can be inspected per request. Car won't turn on right after having gas pumped. In one occasion while stopped at a red light the vehicle started making this strange loud noise on and off. I had to pull over at a parking lot nearby. The car also had a rolling motion feeling, the speed dial would be moving from 0-2 on its own while being stopped. My husband inspected the car and with a diagnostic device got error code P1450. There are existing recalls for same fuel gas problem for the same make and model and year as our vehicle but our VIN number isn't included in those recalls. My check engine light first showed up mid or late February 2024 and early this month is when my car started showing problems, once while on the road and the other instances after pumping gas.

After driving the car for several hours, the car will all of a sudden stall after waiting a a stop light or idle. When pushing the accelerator taking off from a stop, the the car bucks and stalls. The code the Ford dealer read off the diagnostic tablet was P0087... I just got my car back from the Ford dealer without a repair, because they could not replicate the problem. The tech only drove it 22 miles, and I told the service manager that I expect it to stall again, which it did after 2 days of driving. The car has to be running for a while for this to occur. Stalling in an intersection is dangerous! Oxygen sensors have been changed 4 times, and each time black and sooted. MAS, MAF, fuel pressure sensors have been changed. Something is causing the O2 sensors to go bad. Fuel injection cleaning was suggested. One mechanic mentioned PCV valve could be an issue. I drive about 1200 miles per week city driving.

Vehicle year is listed as recalled under the federal safety agency recall 15V005 but not included based on production date. After starting vehicle and navigating into moving traffic, vehicle exhibited identical symptoms (stopping unexpectedly while in motion, no force to gas pedal, slowing to a stop/locking up as if in acc mode). Check engine light illuminated, vehicle restarts after full shut down and drives. Upon next subsequent start up vehicle stops unexpectedly at random and requires full restart all while in motion. Evaluation by licensed technician reviewing vehicle code lists fuel pump failure identical to recall specifications. High risk as shut down is unexpected and occurs while in motion among other vehicles at speeds at or above 5mph

The fuel pump/sensor. My vehicle died (steering column locked as well) while in motion on a busy highway. I took it to the Ford dealership and they replaced the sensor. After I picked it up from the dealership, my car died again on the same highway only this time I was in the middle of turning into oncoming traffic. I could not start my vehicle for several minutes. On both occasions, there were no signs or indications of pimp failure. The check engine light came in after the car stalled and. died. This time the dealership installed the whole control unit, sender and pump ASY and gasket. I have copies of invoices and parts.

I've brought my car back numerous times for the same problem, a problem that began within the first month or purchase. I've asked for documentation off all the 'repairs' to no avail. Some of the ways the problem presents its self include the following- soon after starting the car & beginning the drive it completely stalls and shuts off, it could take numerous tries before restart. Or other times while driving it suddenly slows down and shuts off in the middle of traffic, with my children in the car, this happened and it would not restart! I had to push it to the adjacent gas station and wait almost 2 hours for dealers repair to send a tow truck. The other way this issue manifests itself is after filling the tank with gas. It starts, sputters and shuts off! The last time I brought it in they refused a rental, took about 6 weeks to repair. I had to pay out of pocket for a rental. They finally reimbursed me but it took weeks after the 6 weeks of shelling out well over $1,000
