The first time was as i was turning onto the highway from an intersection. Each time, i was unable to accelerate the car with the gas pedal. Each time, this was preceded by a lurching forward and a sluggish performance of the engine for about 1 second before…

There's a creaking sound that is coming from the right side of the vehicle hen you're driving. The creaking sound comes to play when you're driving 5 minutes into your travel. The sound tends to come and go but at times, it gets really bad. I've had other people comment on the sound and have seen on ford forums that this has been a common issue with this vehicle.

The transmission or engine slams at various speeds and starting and stopping the transmission slams the car forward. The rear view mirror has started to peel away from the glass causing major vision problems. I asked the dealer about the issue and they told me to call customer service. Needless to say i still have the same mirror.

My car has had a few recalls. I brought it to watertown ford and they did not fix it properly. I bought it at enterprise car sales, woburn ma. They were supposed to check it and it was not certified like they promised. From the first month the car had issues. It keeps showing the wrench and not accelerating properly. I can't afford to keep fixing it. I would like ford to buy back the car. For more than 11,000.00.

Driving up the highway at about 65mph then the car begins to start losing power and speed, i have to pull over all the way to the right in the emergency lane.
