“Brakes going to the floor twice, almost unable to stop the second time - almost crashed. This vehicle’s brakes were recalled per Ford. Cleveland Ford dealer in Cleveland TN agreed to fix it, then changed their minds a couple days later and said they weren’t required to fix it because they couldn’t replicate the problem. Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga agreed today to fix it, taking it there tomorrow. We’ll see.”

“MY MOM WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65-70/MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND SHUT OFF WHILE IT WAS ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP ON HER. WE'VE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS AND APPARENTLY THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODELS, BUT NOTHING OLDER. HOWEVER, I HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS AND THERE'S BEEN QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. AGAIN, SHE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!”

“The wrench light came on in the car and my OBD sensor will not pick up a code on what it could be. I was driving it yesterday to merge onto a highway when suddenly I couldn’t pass 15 mph and was stuck witch cars beeping and zooming around me. I had to shut the car off wait and turn it back on. The amount of complaints I’ve seen about the same exact issue happening to people in the same exact car is ridiculous to not be a recall. I am almost certain it’s a throttle bottle issue. This needs to be looked into and investigated before ford comes across a lawsuit.”
