For the last year experiencing progressively worsening drivability issues. The most concerning is steadily increasing throttle lag (time between applying more pressure to accelerator and vehicle responding), which i view as a safety issue. The vehicle does not respond appropriately when applying throttle, which may increase risk of accident b/c vehicle may not accelerate properly when needed either placing me at…

The cars p2119 and p2112 trouble lights and the wrench light keep appearing. The car suddenly loses power regardless of speed or location. My research indicates ford is aware of this problem however they only offered to fix it for 4 months. This vehicle was eligible and they will not repair it. I believe this is a huge safety issue. If my daughter had been driving she would have panicked and possibly put her life in…
