Transmission went at 80k miles, extended warranty doesn't cover. No warnings only warning i got was when it was took late. No way to check transmission fluid as it is a sealed transmission. It's going to cost me $6k to get it fixed.

Current issue is head gasket overheated and blew. Coolant is internally leaking into the engine. Car blows out a ton of exhaust while driving and has the smell of coolant in it. I can't even drive on the highway anymore because the car overheats and limits my speed to 45 mph. Sometimes i have to pull over just to let it cool down. Every time the car starts up it vibrates so much that its quite annoying. Sometimes…

We were merging into a very busy intersection and the car wouldn't move suddenly. The engine would rev, but would not move. We put the car in park, shut off the engine, started again and it would lurch forward and go for a couple hundred feet and then die again. We had cars swerving around us at high rates of speed. My wife was crying and terrified. It turns out to be the transmission. I looked online this morning…

When driving straight ahead on a smooth highway 215 outside salt lake city, the forward moveable sunroof panel blew out. It sounded like a loud explosion or gunshot in the car. We were not near an overpass, nor were any other cars in the vicinity - rock or debris did not cause this. Car is garaged and well maintained. 5 years old with 33,334 miles.

This vehicle should have been included in a 2017 safety recall related to overheating and coolant leaks, but it was not. In february 2019, it overheated with little warning on the freeway, blowing a hole in the motor (at 62k miles). Ford rejected request for assistance, so repair was done by independent mechanic (motor replaced). Three months later, during freeway drive, message appeared several times stating power…

The engine splash shield lost its bolts & fell to the ground dragging underneath the car while driving (the back stayed attached, but the front was down on the ground - like a snow shovel). I was driving, in motion & heard the dragging noise.

My car was serviced for the coolant related recall. Less than a month later the low coolant light came on and i brought the vehicle back in for service.

Less than a month after that the low coolant light came back on again and i brought the vehicle in to be serviced. They determined…
