Car started misfiring while accelerating about a month ago. Sometimes the kick was so much it felt like getting rear ended. Twice (both incidents within the same week) the vehicle went into limp mode. The first time was during accelerating to move around a slow vehicle to avoid hitting it and the second time the car would misfire everytime it reached 65 mph. I stopped at a red light and when the light turned green…

Error code for engine temperature being too low. The cause is believed to be a thermostat stuck open. The fix is a replacement of the thermostat and ford must be aware of this problem as they have replaced the oem thermostat with a higher temperature rated one. By looking at numerous automobile forums on the internet this is a very common problem. *tr
