Then i have to put the vehicle in park in the middle of the road or parking lot and restart. Sometimes it starts after a little delay just fine, and other times i had happened back to back two to three times. No warning lights remain. I…

My car started showing engine overheating and when i took it in to dealer they confirmed a crack leaking fluid into engine. Recall work done in 2014 was to avoid this from happening and now they are telling me i have to buy a new $6000 engine to have it run again. They won't cover it under their recall. I wrote the bbb but they refuse to honor it because i didn't buy an extended warranty. The car just turned 6 yrs…

Moved the gear shift on the vehicle into reverse backed up the vehicle 5 feet went to put it in drive and it was stuck in reverse, the gear shift cable came off of the lever on the transmission to switch gears because of the bushing breaking. This is a recall on other vehicles like mine but not for my vin, doesn't make any sense

We were camping far in the country. No cell service or signal. We loaded up our car with our gear to head back to town. Backed out of the parking space then moved shifter to drive forward. Nothing happened other than the vehicle drifting forward due to the incline. Now no reverse or drive. Was very difficult to get it to register park in order to get key out. Put parking brake on and hiked until we received service…

I got it fixed at ford for a cost of $1000.00. 2 weeks later i was traveling to another state and it happened again, almost got into accident due to this issue! This should be included in the recall that you already made for all the other 2013…
