7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2019

The engine stalled once on August 20th, 2019 while driving on the interstate. Each time that I fill the tank with fuel I have to try 2-3 times to start engine as it makes a noise as if I'm completely out of fuel though it's a full tank and I'm still at the pump. Ford dealership stated to me this is "normal" for all cars though I've never dealt with this and at 39 I've had several cars.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2019

My car started having a clutch shudder before it was a year old. I took it to the dealership the first time and they thought it was the adaptive learn feature, and reset the computer. It was still doinf it and I took it back within a week. I was told its a Ford clutch problem, but until it gets bad enough to register in the computer I had to keep driving it. Then the gear shift cable broke, it came out of the transmition and had to be fixed, at the same time I had the clutch re-checked and it finally registered bad in the computer and was replaced. 1 week after getting the car back it strted overheating and had to go back to the shop (8/7/19), I also realized while driving to the dealership that the car had burnt through around 1/2 tank of fuels in a little over 60 miles. I was told the cooling fan just stopped working and was replaced.

9 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2019

Ford Focus, hesitating when driving, engine stopped while driving and the engine restarted. Over period of time, heard strange noises like a loud boom while driving. Happens only when gas level is around half tank. Dealer says there is no recall on the VIN. Cut off happened after making a turn also the boom noise. Hesitation usually on slight uphill. Dealer said they will check with Ford company about this. I'm actually afraid to drive it anymore, it could cause an accident.
