The engine will not start when the temperature outside is high (105+ degrees). During the heat of the day, engine will not start (no clicking, no sounds, nothing). Radio comes on, air comes on, I am able to change gears, roll down windows, etc. There are no issues in the morning or evening when the day is cooler. The check engine light does come on only when I am having the issue. Once car eventually starts, the check engine light goes off.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2016

Door latch on drivers door does not turn car computer off when it is opened. Computer and radio will remain on unless passenger door is opened and closed. Causing a drain on the battery causing it to be replaced. There is no alarm warning when drivers doors is opened. The senor is not working at all. While driving on any road the sensor will not notify you that your drivers door is opened or not closed correctly. The door could open while driving I have taken it to the dealership and was advised by the service adviser that it is a known safety issue but I should wait for the recall to get it fixed. They have had a lot of complaints about the door latch and sensors noticed the issue and had it in the shop 7/14/2016 for this issue after noticing the door was not closed while traveling down the road about to get on freeway and no alerts or warning signs no lights nothing this is a accident waiting to happen and a huge safety issue to my family.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2015

I was driving the vehicle in a parking structure and lost all power. I tried to restart it, no luck. Vehicle turned back on after 2nd attempt to restart and seemed fine. I had the vehicle towed to downtown Ford in sacramento, CA who said the issue "might have been the wiring panel" and claimed to fix it. Second incident: August 2015 (mileage: 35,755) vehicle was again in a parking structure and lost all power. Vehicle was brought to folsom lake Ford in folsom, CA where they said they couldn't find anything wrong after they kept the vehicle for almost 2 weeks. I was told "maybe radio interference" caused the problem or maybe it was because I was in a cement parking structure. I park in this same parking structure Monday - Friday and this issue doesn't happen everyday so the location is not a factor. The vehicle looses all power randomly so I fear that when I am on a freeway or traveling on a curvy road and experience this catastrophic failure, it could cause a fatal crash. A case number cas7689216 was opened because we told Ford that I refuse to drive the vehicle. Ford's csm contacted both me and my husband and requested that we continue to drive the unsafe vehicle and have Ford install a monitoring device so that they can determine the cause the next time this happens. I expressed that this is not a risk I am willing to take because our lives matter. Second option is to turn over the vehicle to a Ford dealership and pay for their technicians to performed "a long test drive" which would incur possibly thousands of dollars in service hours and fuel. Not sure why the consumer would have to pay to fix a lemon vehicle. Third option given by the csm was to have bbb buy back the vehicle which doesn't appear to be an actual option available through bbb. Ford's csm told me "if we cannot recreate the problem, then there is no problem. ".
