I bought it around aug 1, 2019 with about 30,000 mi. Less 2 months after i bought it, it started intermittently going to limp mode, where i can't accelerate past ~1500 rpms. Restarting the car usually makes it go back to normal. Though sometimes i have to restart the car several times, which sometimes triggers the check engine light, and/or turn it off and wait a couple min to make it go away. If i restart the car,…

Engine light has been going on and off for a few months now. First garage told me that it was the o2 sensors, so i replaced them. That night the check engine light came back on again so i bring out back in, this time it's the catalytic converter. I hold off and get a diagnosis from another shop, 3 hits with the 2.0 turbo. I bring it into ford today and they're saying it's both.

When accelerating on a highway (going 55 - 60 mph) vehicle abruptly shifts gear and slows down on its own to the point of thinking the vehicle has stopped. This happened twice and then a few days later, the vehicle started hesitating terribly where the car was hopping down the road and would not go over 30 mph. Then at a light it stalled out completely and i was nearly hit. After restarting, the vehicle would…

As i was driving on the fwy mi car stopped accelerating i pulled over and my car turned off. I had a quarter tank of gas left once i tried to turn it on it would not let me. I had to call a tow. I now had a check engine sign on. I took it to autozone and they said i needed a new purge canister valve. But that doesnt explain why it did not warn me on the fwy that i needed gas .
