Car Stall Problems of Ford Transit Connect

After having several flat tires I had to drive off the interstate after the right front tire went flat and the engine must have bounced up and down too much so the accident dashboard light came on. The fuel injection system was affected as well and the car didn't want to start, started misfiring and conked out at low speeds. Whenever I put fuel in to the gas tank the car didn't want to start again and sometimes I had to turn the key 10>20 times to start the engine. Unless when I put fuel into the tank and I kept the engine running (fire hazard). After several thousand miles of driving the car after the car accident light came on and no repairs done to the car the misfiring and stalling out at low speed would dissipate except for the refueling problem. Or at least until the car went over a large bump/pothole and then start all over again stalling out at low speeds. I did take the car to a goodyear auto repair shop and they told me it may take 2>3 days worth of repairs to fix it. Unfortunately I still do not have the money to fix it and probably can't afford to fix it multiple times as the expense would amount to two>. Three times the current value of the car itself plus the problems with the engine bouncing too much just causes the same problem to reoccur so it's basically a bottomless pit of repair and expense.

The contact rented a 2016 Ford Transit Connect. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and a chime sound alerted three times. The contact was able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. Once restarted, the vehicle corrected the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the failure once more after approximately an hour more of driving. The vehicle was a rental vehicle and was taken back to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.

"engine fault, service now" light comes on upon ignition, and while operating. Engine bucks, stalls, and slips. This has happened more than 100 times since I purchased the van in August 2014. The dealership says they do not know how to fix it. It is a known problem with Ford, but they are completely ignoring me. My cust. Service rep tells me that the "next step" is to take it to the dealership to have them repair it. The van is unrepairable and dangerous.

It was April 2016 when my car started running erratically (lose power, add power) and I instantly took it in. It was diagnosed with "rusty" plugs and coil; replaced for $845 and at 33,310 miles. Next time I drove it, rough, and high then low power. It "drove" itself, surging at a high rate of speed, then stalling. Very scary. The dealer's diagnosis? the windshield washer nozzle gaskets had not been installed, so they "leaked" downhill onto the engine. Apparently, Ford knew or came to know this was a problem with many tcs, but they chose not to inform buyers. The gaskets cost $69. 50. Without this knowledge and having improperly installed gaskets, I paid $845. 15 plus $971. 13. At 33,402 miles. Yes it ticks me off; I am a disabled senior and I need this car for my dogs and my disability scooter. Boo on Ford. And indeed, when I was pointed uphill parking in a parking lot, my car surged - headed straight for a car. Thank goodness I was headed uphill and was able to stop the vehicle . . . After having paid $845. 15 before realizing the problem was not fixed and adding the additional $971. 13 beginning the next day. (if anyone needs them I can take docs to store to scan and upload. ).
