“To Mall of Georgia Ford Service Management, I am writing to formally express my extreme disappointment, shock, and serious concern regarding a dangerous incident involving my vehicle on October 31, 2026. What occurred was not only frightening but potentially life-threatening, and I am extremely disturbed by the possibility that this incident may be directly related to safety recalls that your dealership represented as having been completed. While driving, my vehicle was running low on fuel when it suddenly began operating abnormally. The engine started idling at an unusually high RPM, causing the vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly as I was pulling away from a red traffic light. The vehicle surged forward with such force that I nearly rear-ended another vehicle. I was genuinely frightened by the loss of control and the possibility of causing a serious accident that could have resulted in injuries or even fatalities. What makes this situation particularly alarming is that I strongly suspect this malfunction may be connected to an outstanding safety recall that was supposed to have been addressed during my vehicle's service appointment. **I was specifically…”
“My vehicle has had two misfires and the check engine light came on twice. I brought it to quirk ford in Quincy mass and they said ford has not found a solution for this recall which has been years for this recall. My vehicle putters when I start it and has a skunk aroma when I shut it off”

“Loss of power or acceleration randomly, when pressing on the pedal. A recall was issued that it was a fuel pump failure June of 2025. One year and two months later there is still no solution to this recall. I am mostly submitting this covering all bases and am filing a complaint with Ford motor company as well. This is a serious safety concern as without warning the car basically dies so turning in front of oncoming traffic or pulling out onto a road poses great risk when the vehicle may cease functioning.”
