My vehicle has died on me while driving down the road and after getting gas it does not want to start and will sputter and act like it is going to die, or die or it will be very hard to start. The car will just die at stop signs and is very dangerous. You can not tell if there is gas or not because the gauge does not work and will go to full even if you only put one dollar in and then at half a tank it will go back to showing full. I know it is low of gas and it will only hold five or ten dollars at a time no matter what I can not tell what amount is in the car and the solution I received from Ford while waiting on parts is to keep it half a tank or more but that is impossible because I do not know how much gas is there. They have also told me they are busy and maybe awhile anyway and they cant give me a rental car. I have almost been ran over, been stranded and missed work because of this and now I have no way to go if they do get parts in to fix this. Prior to this my transmission was causing my car to die and the door hinge is under recall and they car should be recalled totally. I dont trust them to fix it and these are lemons and they knew this and people have crashed because of this!! they are lying and should have to replace these cars. This is unfair , unethical and dangerous. You cant do this and risk so many lives. Do something before people die please!!1 it has stopped on highway, parking lot and city road and rural road. It has happened many many times.

About 1 am this morning I left work and started down the highway with the gas gauge reading 44 miles to empty. Since it was rather late I decided to go home and just get gas in the morning but about halfway home it it dropped all the way from 44 down to 17 and then about a mile later ran out of gas. This was an issue but not the one I'm overly concerned about right now. I placed on my hazards and tried to flag down some help to get to the gas station I had to leave the car parked in a curve and though I was off the road it wasn't by much so I left the hazards on. When I came back roughly an hour and a half later the battery was completely dead. I got gas into the car and got the battery jumped and then started the vehicle with one major issue the instrument panel had gone completely dark so there was no way of telling how fast I was going nor could I see how much fuel was in the tank or engine temperature. The other issue was the turn signals also stopped working. Today I checked all the fuses and when I pulled out the one for the instrument panel it was absolutely fine but when I put it back in everything came back to life like there wasn't a problem about an hour and a half later in heavy traffic it all went dark again so I was unable to use my turn signal or tell how fast I was going. Once again I just pulled out the same fuse and push it back in and everything was fine. This just seems like it could be a real dangerous issue and as I read online this car seems to have a plethora of them also the issue with not getting an accurate reading of how much gas is in your tank is also a problem. The gentleman from the store who helped me put gas in the car and jump it said he has the exact same model for his wife and that he was told when she ran out of gas it was because the plastic tank melted and change shapes allowing inaccurate reading of the amount of fuel left.
