Filed Dec 20, 2019 · 115,000 miles · RI

I was driving on 295 heading to foster ri. I was driving on the highway going about 55 MPH when my SUV started to buck then the check engine light started blinking and my SUV wouldn't even do 40 MPH so I got off the highway and pulled into a parking lot on hartford ave johnston waited for a tow truck while waiting my car stalled and wouldn't start back up. If I didn't get off the highway when I did I would of been involved in a car crash because I couldn't even do the speed limit. I feel this should be a recall because it's considered a safety issue to me. I had my car towed to tasca they said the diagnostic computer said it was the PCM, might have burnt out the coils and spark plugs. I feel this is very dangerous what if I wasn't where I could get off the highway it could of caused a bad accident or even death. So I'm asking can this please be a recall so nobody jeopardize their life.

My mkx has stalled over the years and the dealer says that's normal. Well, for the first time, I stalled on a hill in a parking lot and my steering locked and brakes didn't work. As soon as I realized I stalled and slammed my brakes, tried to steer away from the car behind me, it was too late for the emergency brake. I slammed into a business associate's SUV that was parked and we both have about 3k worth of damage.

Brake booster - I noticed that whenever I came to a stop or slowed down - my car would continue to roll slightly even though I pressed down very hard on the brakes. The pressure of the brake pedal became very stiff and would not allow me to press down on it too much and it felt as if it was going to lock. I eventually had to put my car in neutral whenever I came to a stop just to be cautious and prevent it from possibly rolling into a vehicle or pedestrian crossing the street in front of me. Also, when at a complete stop, the brakes would tighten, my car would make an air pressure noise and began to almost stall or vibrate a little as if it would shut completely down. I did not take the toll road for safety reasons due to the hills so I immediately went to the lincoln dealership and I'm now out of pocket $786.00 later because my brake booster went bad. Very frustrating since four months ago I had radiator problems and had to replace the cooling regulator to my radiator and replace the hose which was over $1,200.

When going about 35 MPH the car would vibrate. Sometimes it would stall and then slam into gear. Now the car started grumbling and I believe the problem is the power transfer unit.. The car will drive fine without the drive shaft but when the drive shaft is in you can't go over 5 MPH and the car will start shaking and making a loud grumbling noise.. Like when your going over the rumble strips on the side of the road there is obviously a problem with these and hopefully ford will fix it..
