On dec.31 at approximately 2 p.m. I was driving south on citrus ave. I was going 55 mph and my vehicle started losing speed. I moved to the side of the road. I turned off the ignition and when i restarted the car it ran as normal. Prior to that, on several occasions upon starting from a stop i had noticed faster acceleration than the amount of pressure i was applying to the gas pedal. *tr

I recently had an incident on 8/28/13 with a fuel vapor leak. It was fixed on 9/6/13. As of 9/17/13 the same issue happened again.. Apparently this is a common problem that ford knows about and have not fixed. So now when you have a vapor leak & they replace the vapor system, its replaced with the same model type so it could happen again & again. Why they didn't fix the vapor system issue so there would be a newer…

Was traveling through an intersection and the escape power quit even though the engine was running. Got it pulled into a parking lot where then i looked up to see what the wrench light meant which was powertrain issue, took it home added transmission fluid thinking that might have been the problem since it was a little low. Had no issues until 9/19/2013 when traveling about 40mph and the same thing happened again.…
