 Description of the problemSince i purchased the vehicle (new), i have had problems with the engine. I have taken it to be repaired to an authorized ford deal during the 3 years i have owned it - once, they replaced/rebuilt the clutch, twice for updates to the computer, and a separate time for the tires and wheel well (the dealership said some of the problems were caused by unevenness in tires, the wheel well also needed repair after my tires were rotated). The car consistently struggles to accelerate after coming to stop, such as at a yield, merge, stop sign, stop lights, or from slowing down. It shakes, jerks, stutters, makes a creaking metal sound, and most concerning, stalls. I have been told by the dealership the vehicle needs to learn my driving style, however, three years is an unacceptable amount of time. I take the car to the dealership for all maintenance. I have my oil changed and tires rotated regularly, in addition to the inspection done by the dealership at that time. When i press on the gas from a slowed or stopped position, the car should accelerate, but it stalls. It consistently stalls every time i drive it. This is not safe, especially since this is a brand new car. I have continued taking it for repairs to a ford authorized dealership only, leaving the vehicle for days at a time, and the problem has not been resolved. Additionally, the mileage i get with the car is lower than expected and a ford employee asserted to me it is due to the engine issues.
