Description of the problem | This incident has now occurred twice in one week. The first time i was driving out of my apartment complex and the car just died. The fuel light never went on and still said i had about 30 more miles until e. Was towed to the dealership, and they told me they put gas in it and it started right up. It said i had 144 miles until e and they calibrated it and the mileage decreased to 133. I drove the car 80 miles and happened again yesterday, but this time i was on a busy state road going about 55 mph with my son in the car. The car jerked and i could tell it was losing power. Luckily i was able to coast into a subdivision. The fuel light never went on and also stated i still had about 33 miles left until e. The car has been towed again to same dealership and no word on what is wrong. Was told they were on the phone with ford to solve the problem. I am currently in a rental and scared to drive my car as i am afraid this will happen again. Also, had many transmission and clutch issues this summer and those parts have since been replaced. The car is a year old and been in the shop more times than my old car that i traded in for my new ford. |
