I had my trams fluid leak from the cap. No leaks in any of my hoses. My rpms stay between 1700-2700 regardless of what speed i'm going. I took it back to jim click, even tho showing no errors. And it's always whining, my engine. I don't know what's…

While driving, the car will suddenly lose all acceleration and the maintenance wrench light will come on. This has happened while accelerating from a stop, and while going 60 mph down the highway. The only way to reset it is to restart the car. If the car is not restarted, it will shake vigorously as if it is going to stall on its own. Once restarted, acceleration is restored to normal until it does the same thing…

Vehicle lost power, would not accelerate a wrench showed on the instrument panel, it eventually begin to gradually gain some of it's power enough to get the car home. I have read numerous accounts by other people complaining about this problem. It's seem it has to do with the throttle body. My real concern is why ford motor company has not been required to issue a safety recall. Loss of power could result in serious…

We have purchased 2 batteries in 1 year, had cables and connections cleaned and replaced. There has…

I tapped the gas after i stopped at a stop sign & the car revved really high but didn't go anywhere. Then the 2nd time i was on the highway the car revved really high again & again went really slow, like something wasn't catching. I'm glad the highway was empty because i could've caused an accident

I passed the truck and slowed down to 60mph and as the car shifted again, it caused another hard shift and "chug" feel. This seems to be…

Car had sudden deceleration, loss of power, waited about 30 seconds and tried to restart. Car restarted and parked due to safety concerns. Did some research to find that nhtsb is failing to issue recall but ford has voluntarily agreed to fix and extend warranty. The dealer is playing dumb about it being throttle body issue even though it is supposed to be fixed free under ford csp# 13n03 and had the exact symptoms…

I believe this car is also affected by the electronic throttle body issues plaguing fords. I was driving the vehicle when it suddenly loses power and the "wrench" light appears. The vehicle lost speed and did not respond to the gas pedal. I was able to pull over and restart the vehicle with temporary resolution of the problem. This has been a gradually worsening problem.
