IN AN HOUR TIME SPAN, YESTERDAY, IT HAPPENED 10 TIMES, TODAY IN A 15 MINUTE TIMESPAN, 3 TIMES. AM AN UBER DRIVER AND CANNOT PUT THEIR LIVES IN JEOPARDY - GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL SITUATIONS - WHETHER IDLING IN LINE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT, OR WHILE DRIVING. HAS EVEN HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT STARTS TO SPUTTER, AND THEN JUST SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES YOU CAN PLACE IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART, BUT OTHER TIMES, YOU MUST COAST TO SIDE OF STREET, PLACE IN PARK, AND THEN TRY TO RESTART. THERE ARE 100S OF INCIDENCES ON THE INTERNET SHOWING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS. GOING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS NOT THE ANSWER - THEY TELL ME THEY CANNOT "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE AND THEREFOR DO NOT KNOW HOW TO "FIX" IT. IN THE MEANTIME, THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING THE ENTIRE MONTH OF DECEMBER - ON THE 18TH - 10 TIMES IN A 3 HOUR TIMESPAN - TODAY, THE 19TH - 3 TIMES IN A 15 MINUTE TIMESPAN. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY ISSUE AND GETTING WORK. THIS IS PREVENTING USING THIS VEHICLE AS AN UBER DRIVER, AND SERIOUSLY IMPACTING OUR INCOME. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THERE IS A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN - TSB-13-12-12; NHTSA-10054363; DTC PO106, PO236.

AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND NOBODY WAS HURT AND LUCKLY I DIDNT HIT ANY OTHER CARS OR PROPERTY. CAR IS BEING TOWED BACK HOME TO A MECHANIC. I HAD GONE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE, IN MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS, AND AFTER PAYING A $100 DIAGNOSIS FEE, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT I WAS IMAGINING THINGS. I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH SINCE THEN AND THERE ARE A LOT OF RECALLS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES BUT NOT ON THE 2012 MODEL.
