I had people in the vehicle with me and the car in front of me moved into the intersection on the red light to avoid being rear-ended. The dealership could find nothing wrong with it.

I have experienced the same problem with gas spewing out of tank when refueling. This is my second sport trac. Ford bought back my first one because they couldn't fix ongoing engine problems that started off as a rough idle problem. They even replaced the engine, and surprisingly that made things worse. I have had my new vehicle since the end of July and have experienced similar rough idle problems recently.
