Failure Date: 06/06/2011

So idk every [xxx] year! for the last few years! it goes good then she starts acting funny boom battery light comes on. I use the voltmeter and everything's fine full charge same with the alternator. A week or so passed then the starter went out replaced 7/3/13!! wtf! fried put a new one in. Now my[xxx] clutch feels different don't know what it's not slipping but it's really smooth. 2 days go by and boom acts like the battery is dead. . Nope take key out get voltmeter it's at 12. 5 so I try again seems ok doesn't turn over. Again turn key all lights on seems ok nothing. . . . Ok 1 more turn key struggles like starter then lights flicker dash wacks out boom dead nothing!!!!! get out still 12. 5volts. I don't know try 1 more time I pumped the clutch ad it hesitated to turn over and boom it works!!!! get home. Turn it off all is well acts like nothing is wrong! 4 to 6 days again this time it did it 2 him just different. Here's the kicker!!!!! it's fine fully charged all lights ok all volts ok he pulls out ( ha ha pulls out!) then she idles irregularly like a loop higher loop get it home and keeps looping. So I remember this from like 5 yrs ago it was something with the maf or ecg I believe so I look for answers. . . . Now he goes out 4 hrs later nothing dead won't turn over won't do nothing!!!!! I hate this car!!!!! I swear I will find the [xxx] problem to this [xxx]!!!!! I can't believe this [xxx] car! she was so good now she's a lil [xxx]! I know it's something stupid as [xxx] and watch just like last year in August the [xxx[ clutch is going to go out again! I loved this car but from reading constantly I've decided this is a serious Ford issue!!!! I have spent thousands on this! if I didn't have lifetime warranties on the alternator etc I could only imagine the cost!! through all this horror I've also had to replace O2 sensors maf sensor all engine mounts 3 times!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2010

Gas pedal sticks in cold weather when first putting car in gear and stepping on gas pedal. If you pump the gas pedal a few times after starting the car, the problem seems to disappear for the length of time you drive the vehicle. This problem could cause an accident if the above procedure is not taken.
