I was stopped at a 3 way stop. As the car started moving i could not steer the car. When i finally stopped the car i was partially in a someone's yard with a culvert and telephone or electric pole only 2 or 3 feet from me. I thought the car had gone dead. I tried to crank the car only to realize it was still running. I then put the car into reverse and backed out. That was when i realized the steering was the…

Upon accelerating from a full stop at a red light the car entered "limp" mode (would not accelerate, but i could still steer and the engine was still on) and the wrench light appeared on the dash. I already had the dealership perform the throttle fix of the 2014 recall on various ford models of 2009-2012. *tr

Driving the car home from the dealership cruising down the highway and suddenly the car just would not accelerate any more. Scary feeling when your cruising at 55 and suddenly the car would not stay at highway speed. It would still idle but it idled roughly. You could push down on the pedal but it would do nothing. It just lost all power so i had to quickly pull onto the shoulder of the road. Good thing no one was…

The car slowed down to a crawl and would not respond to my pressing the accelerator; then the engine shut off and a red-wrench light appeared on the dash. I cranked the car again; in park, the engine sounded fine, but when i placed it in drive, the sputtering and coughing started again. I…

Wrench light comes on. Ford is trying to say it's covered because the wrench light is on, and then bring you in to the shop to pay $2000 for a valve body in the transmission. They are pulling the wool over the nhtsa by making it seem like they have covered it when it's something entirely different. Should have bought a nissan. Basically the car doesn't accelerate. Come the time i might get hit by a car, i wont be…
