Engine revs up at idle and bogging while in motion and when stopping and making turns. Also, the vehicle intermittently lurches (jumps) forward at idle over powering the brakes. Then the vehicle will die completely, leaving me stuck in an intersection. This is a serious safety issue, could cause a major accident! I have had it in the Ford dealers service department 3 different times and the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
The vehicle shook all over the road and it misfired. It vibrated and rumbled. It was not a problem due to the balancing or alignment. It was something within the engine. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and the problem was still not fixed. Also, had a brake rotor problem. Took the vehicle three different times for the rotors. Had to pay out of pocket to have the brakes fixed. These problems started on March 1, 2004. The back window was leaking water. Took vehicle to the dealer, and that was not fixed. The consumer filed a lemon law complaint.
