 Description of the problemI was driving approx. 50-55 mph and going uphill when the engine lost power and would not accelerate despite trying to pump the petal. The car did not shut off completely but idled roughly with the yellow wrench light on. I had to flip on the hazards and get over three lanes of scary traffic on a busy vancouver, bc highway and turn the car off and back on again. This was the 5th time this happened in 30 days, with the first being on the ship canal bridge in seattle, the 2nd exactly 7 days later in the same spot, followed by twice in one morning 2 weeks later on the way to vancouver. Each time it has been over 50mph and going uphill, or having to quickly accelerate to get past a slower moving car. The ford dealerships don't care and just want to charge a fortune to fix it. I haven't read from anyone if the new part even fixes the problem? I'm at the point where i'm stressed all the time driving never knowing where it will crap out and avoiding highways and roads where there is no shoulder to stop on. I loved the car but am too scared to drive it so i've started to take the bus. Ford should be ashamed of themselves for not taking immediate action on this known problem! When is ford going to take responsibility for this and issue a recall? Are they waiting for someone to die because of it? This is so dangerous, thank god it happened during daylight hours - i'm terrified of what will happen if it is night time.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.
