My vehicle alarm will just start going off nobody is near the keys or vehicle, it will just go off and you have to hit the button on the key and shut it off today at work i was sitting at my desk and in a matter of 10 minutes it went off 4 times. I am not sure why it is doing this, but it is concerning.

While driving the car on the freeway the car jolted. After 3-5 more miles the car kepped jolting as if it wanted to die then lost all power, even the emergency lights wouldnt come on. Once i turned the car off it turned back on fine then continued the process. The car for no apparent reason died on the freeway and i could have been in an accident to where my life was almost lost. I made it to my mechanic shop they…

While driving and the car is in motion the gas pedal has locked in an idle position. This happens intermittently. Although the car is in motion suddenly there is no longer any forward momentum since the car is no longer moving forward. My only option is to coast to the side of the road. Sometimes i can turn the car off and on which seems to reset the gas pedal and then i can continue on my way. This is extremely…

When the vehicle stops, engine shuts down. If i start it again it turns on just fine but everytime i stop at a light or at traffic, the engine stalls. Went to the ford dealer and they cant tell what is happening because there is no check engine light turned on. They checked it and everything was fine, battery, oils. They say there is a recall for the throttle position sensor but the deadline for this was on january…

Today while driving my 05 ford escape i was making a right hand turn when all of a sudden i lost all power, my brakes locked up, power steering was gone, causing me to almost wreck into another vehicle. I was able to safely move to the side of the busy main road and stop the vehicle. No warning light came on, nothing informing me of an issue. It was very scary for me & could have been a lot worse if i hadn't of been…

Car alarm always going off causes interior lights to run battery down. Alarm will not reset lock doors. Sensor light comes on with door ajar and alarm refuses to set. Has been going on for a year or more. Complaints on internet from other people with the same problem but there is no recall. Others are saying it is the latch that needs to be replace but ford company can't tell us this. It doesn't matter if the…

Was driving my car to work - at first if didn't want to start but cranked fine. Let it sit idle and headed to work - 1/2 to work stopped at a light where it started to shudder like it was going to stall (never had any issues before and still no warning lights). Got thru the intersection and loss all power on the busiest street in bowling green. I didn't even have enough power for my emergency blinkers. Stuck where i…

As soon as i hit about 60 mph, between 2-3 rpm, my car begins to stall and feels like the gas pedal is grinding and won't let me go any faster without vibrating the entire vehicle. I initially thought it was the transmission slipping so i took it in to a transmission auto shop where the found absolutely nothing. Which is very odd for an auto shop to not find anything. About 1 week after this problem, the service…

While driving 45mph the car just cut off is a high traffic area. The car behind me had to swerve to miss rear-ending me! I had my 3 year old daughter w/ me at the time! Our mechanic has informed us that apparently ford motor company is aware that bad plugs were installed in these cars and would cause computer failure! Nothing was told to us regarding this issue when we purchased the car! When emailed fmc they…

Driving at 55 mph and car began to lurch and buck. Car shut off 3 times in busy intersection with no warning and almost caused an accident. Took to mechanic, and learned that the computer system had shorted out due to manufacturers using incorrect spark plugs. Apparently, this is a common issue with this year and make. This is a dangerous problem, and can occur anywhere, doing any speed! The computer system must be…
