I was on my way to my daughter's school. We got off the on ramp to her school and while waiting at the red stop light, my car stalled. The wheels locked. My brake pedal and gas pedal were not working when the stop light turned green. The car dashboard was showing the power to be on but nothing was working. After a minute, the battery light and the a light with the arrow that kind of circles around it started blinking. I put my hazards and waved people behind me to go around me. After a few minutes, my car started to go backwards on the on-ramp. I looked back and could feel and see my car going backwards toward the cars behind me. The traffic behind me on the on-ramp started to honk at me. They could see what was happening too. I put the car from drive to park and put my emergency brake and the car stopped. I called 911 and explained what was happening. After a few more minutes, two men in two different vehicles came and offered to help push my car. One of them asked me to put my car in neutral but my car was not allowing me to turn to the different shifts. All of a sudden my car starts blinking again. One of the guys told me to try to press the power again. All of a sudden my car starts powering up again. I thanked the two men and finished dropping off my daughter to school. From the time my car stalled and turned back on was about 8-9 minutes. This car has shown problems over and over with Ford. I have had 3 new car batteries since owning this vehicle in the 3 years I've had it. I've reported all the different car issues on the NHTSA website. I just had my oil changed a few months ago. My car just had a few things fixed in June. I have never been so shaken up like this before. My legs and hands could not stop shaking. I couldn’t stop crying. I’ve never been so scared in my life in this vehicle. This was the first time my kid was with me when my car has stalled like this. For my car to lose complete function was the scariest moment in my life with my kid.

On about 4 to 5 occasions while driving on the highway, the car sort of stalls and a loss of control happens where everything feels locked up for a few seconds and a big thump is heard. It feels like the transmission has completely dropped out or that I have been hit but I have not been hit, it’s just the jerking motion I was feeling. It has happened both when excelerating to change lanes and also when promptly slowing to avoid someone coming into my lane. It is a really scary situation and when I looked it up, apparently has been documented on recent earlier models of the car but not in my newer 2021 year. This issue is still happening with the newer model and needs to be looked into. The dealership confirmed and said the transmission needs to be replaced. There are only arousn 26K miles on the car, it started happening around 20K miles.

I do not feel Ford is taking recall 22S36 seriously. In 2022 they began claiming that parts would be available late summer of 2022. I have scheduled and brought my vehicle in at least three times to have this recall performed only to arrive and they didn't have parts. So now for several months I've started calling to check on parts. The first response is always "We can do that recall" but then after asking about parts to make sure I'm told that parts aren't actually available and that they are on back order and expected in two weeks. Ford is providing no means to schedule this recall service by putting customers on a wait list, ordering parts specifically for a VIN, or otherwise setting parts a aside specifically for customers actively trying to get the repair done. Today is day 462 since this recall, almost as many days as dollars they've spent on the handout. I hope the NHSTA takes a hard look at Ford's obligation to resolve recall 22S36 and at their inaction and insincere practice at doing so.

I was driving down the interstate in the morning going traveling out of town for a day trip going approximately 60 MPH. There was an opening in the "Fast" lane so I pushed on the accelerator as I was getting over and it felt as if when it was down shifting it could not find any gears. The vehicle slowed WAY down, thank goodness the person that I pulled out in front of was pay attention otherwise they would have rear-ended us. The exact same thing happened twice again later the same day as we were headed home.

My car has a very scary safety recall. The important notice that I received states that Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to provide you with vehicle pickup and delivery, a rental vehicle or other alternate transportation all for FREE. I live in a very large city and can't find one dealership that says they buy into this free service. Not even the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. I do not have transportation to drop my vehicle and need this free service that is offered. I have contacted FORD with no response or help in finding a dealership that complies with their offer.
