Description of the problem | My vehicle has died on me while driving down the road and after getting gas it does not want to start and will sputter and act like it is going to die, or die or it will be very hard to start. The car will just die at stop signs and is very dangerous. You can not tell if there is gas or not because the gauge does not work and will go to full even if you only put one dollar in and then at half a tank it will go back to showing full. I know it is low of gas and it will only hold five or ten dollars at a time no matter what i can not tell what amount is in the car and the solution i received from ford while waiting on parts is to keep it half a tank or more but that is impossible because i do not know how much gas is there. They have also told me they are busy and maybe awhile anyway and they cant give me a rental car. I have almost been ran over, been stranded and missed work because of this and now i have no way to go if they do get parts in to fix this. Prior to this my transmission was causing my car to die and the door hinge is under recall and they car should be recalled totally. I dont trust them to fix it and these are lemons and they knew this and people have crashed because of this!! They are lying and should have to replace these cars. This is unfair , unethical and dangerous. You cant do this and risk so many lives. Do something before people die please!! 1 it has stopped on highway, parking lot and city road and rural road. It has happened many many times. |
