This car has been in twice for a cam position sensor. The first time the part totally failed and left us on the road side on a very dangerous stretch of hwy 101 and was replaced. 1708 miles later the check engine light came on again. The code was p0340 again. We were told that the issue could not be duplicated through a dealer road test and we were charged $190. 00 for the diagnostics. The first time this issue occurred, we had brought the vehicle in for a safety recall. When we picked the car up, this was the first instance of the failure of this component. This has caused us grave concern. My wife has ms and can't be left on the roadside. We believe this vehicle has the potential to be unsafe, and Ford will not stand behind their repairs as the computer shows the code that would state the issue has happened again, but because the service department could not cause the code to occur a third time, that everything is working well. Again, we believe this is wrong and wish to make the public aware of a very real safety issue. We have contacted the dealer about the issue. Our service adviser is jessica gallegos from mock Ford (should be noted this is not her fault nor I believe mock Ford) and the Ford rep is cortney burke, 866-631-3788 x77756 . We do not know at this time if the issue has been remedied. Only that through a test drive it could not be duplicated. The computer log shows the incidents. Should we just ignore this and hope for the best?.
If I crank the car soon after cutting it off, (while it's still warm) engine sputters then quits, as if it isn't getting enough fuel. So when getting gas, I have to hold down the gas pedal or engine quits. As soon as I start pumping, the engine starts choking. I can't turn off the ignition while pumping gas because it won't stay cranked once I try to drive away unless I rev the rpm's up really high for a period of time. I've had it looked at several times and no one can figure out what's wrong. This has been an ongoing problem for over a year. And now white smoke billows out of the tail pipe when it's cranked. Second problem. . . . Electrical. Some of the steering wheel buttons, such as cruise and hands-free calling stop working over time. Third problem. . . . Front cv joints wear out way too soon. I heard of a recall on the news a couple of months ago for my car that sounded like my engine issue, but now I can't locate the recall anywhere. They even took it off of the news channel's website. During the broadcast, they said the recall would begin December 10th. What happened??? did Ford change its mind? sure would help me out! I'm entering the occurrence date 1/1/17, but this has been going on well over one year, maybe 2.
