When driving, the car feels like it shifts gears, the wrench light comes on and engine power is lost. After pulling over, turning off the engine and restarting, the car drives normally. This happened multiple times in one day. Dealer reprogrammed pcm and it was fine for two months. Same thing happened on June 21, 2012. This is potentially life threatening problem because it has happened at highway speeds in rush hour conditions. Many consumer reports of same symptoms can be easily found on internet by searching for "electronic throttle control. " when I took car to dealer after most recent occurrence, they said their were no codes showing so there was nothing to fix. Ford needs to investigate why this is happening and recall/fix this problem before someone is killed or seriously injured because of this problem!.
Door handle on rear passenger side broken off at 40k, son unable to exit the vehicle.
Uncontrolable acceloration issue. Could not get car to stop with brakes, e brake, shut off neutral shift. Reached speeds in excess of 80 mph. Finally car slowed down, smoke coming from vents. Towed to local dealer no response yet.
While driving and going around a turn, exiting a parking lot the passenger side door flew open. After that the door would not latch shut. At this time the door must be held shut while driving.
I have noticed that my vehicle makes a funny whining sounds as I increase my speed. This includes getting up to highway speeds. I have taken it to the shop and they cannot tell where it is coming from. They just told me to turn up the radio to ignore it. They also suggested that I contact the dealership to see if there are any other complaints.
On the inside door handles they are covered in chrome. The passenger side started to bubble up. Not sure why, because I mostly only use the driver side. Anyhow, the other night I had my cousin riding with me and when she grabbed the door handle the piece cut her finger. It had somewhat pealed off and sliced her. No other door handle has done that just that one. I was wondering what I should. Its a safety issue for anyone who grabs the handle. I am not even sure how or where to fix it. Any help would be apprecitated!.
The interior door handles are breaking. My rear passenger side interior door handle broke about a year ago. I didn't think anything of it. This week my front passenger side interior door handle broke. Because of this my front passenger side door will not lock. I did research online and there are many cases of this happening. The door handles are cheap plastic that break easily with regular use.
