THE ENGINE HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. SEVERAL OF THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHEN MAKING A TURN, EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, AT A LOW SPEED WITH NO PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO EITHER THE GAS OR BRAKE PEDAL. THE MOST RECENT EVENTS HAVE BEEN WHEN TURNING ONTO A STREET WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I MAKE THE TURN AND PRESS ON THE GAS ONLY TO FIND THAT THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS YOU END UP WITH LITTLE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS ALSO STALLED IN PARKING LOTS WHEN COASTING AT A LOW SPEED WAITING ON ANOTHER CAR. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN MAY OF 2014 AND HAD TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT MONTH (JUNE 2014). THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE PCM PER THE 13N01 RECALL. WITHIN TWO MONTHS, THE ISSUE WAS BACK, THIS IS JANUARY OF 2015, AND THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. I HAVE READ THAT IT COULD BE A TYPE OF RELAY SWITCH LOCATED IN THE UNDER-THE-HOOD FUSE BOX. IF FORD DOESN'T FIX THIS ISSUE, THERE WILL EVENTUALLY BE WRECKS AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES. *TR

MY CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING & WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT.

I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE VIC BAILEY FORD, THEY KEPT MY CAR ON & OFF FOR 5 DAYS. CHARGING ME $98 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST (THAT THEY STATED REVEALED NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM) & THEN THEY TURNED AROUND & CHARGED ME #130 FOR A NEW BATTERY, THE CAR CONTINUED TO CUT OFF ON ME. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR ANOTHER 3 DAYS. FINALLY THEY CALLED ME & TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP THE CAR. THE SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG W/ THE CAR, BUT THEY KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG W/ IT. THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT TIL THE PROBLEM GOT WORST. THEY SENT ME HOME W/ A CAR THAT CUTS OFF CONSTANTLY, THEY DON'T CARE THAT I NEED TO DRIVE A DEPENDABLE CAR. I'M AN EDUCATOR/STATE EMPLOYEE THAT DOESN'T HAVE ALL THIS MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING MY CAR INTO THE SHOP & MISSING DAYS FROM WORK. THEY DON'T CARE THAT I HAVE A YOUNG SON WHO RIDES IN THAT CAR W/ ME TO SCHOOL. THEY DON'T CARE THAT BY DRIVING THAT CAR MY LIFE & MY SON LIFE IS (WAS) PUT IN DANGER. ALL THEY SAW WAS A BLACK SINGLE MOTHER THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD TELL ANYTHING TO. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE SERVICE MGR. (NO HELP) FORD REP (NO HELP) THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MGR. (NO HELP). IT IS AWFUL, THAT IN 2015 AN AMERICA WOMAN IS TREATED W/ SUCH DISRESPECT & PUSHED TO THE SIDE. FORD MADE THIS CAR, THEY SALE THIS CAR, SO THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE CAR. FORD SHOULD MAKE RELIABLE CARS FOR THE CONSUMER. WHO IS SUPPOSE TO HELP WHEN THE BIG VIC BAILEY FORD, VIC BAILEY HONDA, VIC BAILEY FORD REPAIR SHOP, FORD MOTOR COMPANY, & FORD SERVICE ALL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE? BY PUTTING THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC I HOPE TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF THE TREATMENT THAT I HAVE RECEIVED & MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW, 2 IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT. HYBRID VEHICLE HAS RECALL PROBLEMS WHICH MAKES VEHICLE STOP RUNNING. HAD IT FIXED, PAID OUT OF MY OWN POCKET IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. SOMETHING TO DO WITH BATTERY. THEN ON FRIDAY, DEC. 12, IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM COLLEGE, THE VEHICLE STOPPED SUDDENLY. I COULDN'T PULL OVER, IT WON'T RESTART EVEN AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS. I WAITED 5 TO 25 MINUTES, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. FINALLY HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO CLOSEST FORD DEALER. I THOUGHT DEALER COULD FIX PROBLEM AFTER HAVING IT ALL DAY BUT WHEN I LEFT AND HEADED ON HIGHWAY, MY HYBRID VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE PTSD FROM THIS CAR, I NEVER WANT TO GET IN IT. I DON'T TRUST IT AND AFTER 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS, ALL OF MY OWN MONEY TO PAY, CAR STILL DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. I PAID A PREMIUM TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS WORTHLESS. NOW I AM RECEIVING MORE RECALL NOTICES ABOUT THE AIRBAGS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IF IT STALLS AGAIN I MIGHT BE IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AS IT STOPS SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. *TR
