    Its been 3 years since i have had my car and i have not been notified by ford that i have a recall. Not by phone, email, or even in person. The only reason i know i have three is because of my family member who notified me. I have called multiple ford dealerships to complain and get it fixed but they don't seem to want to help. Every time i go or call they take my number and that is it. So i just keep going trusting…

    Knocking noise when pressing gas pedal to put car in motion. Knocking noise when shifting from drive to reverse and vise versa (no gas). Knock when accelerating after rounding a turn. Noise is light enough that it is mostly discernible when there is low road noise, such as beginning from a stop or when in electric mode.

    Purchased the car used, with 77,600 miles on it. After owning it a couple days, started noticing an issue. When pressing gas to go, the car hesitates and will not accelerate. Feels like the car is going to stall, shakes a bit. We took it to a ford dealer, who "reset the computer to adjust to my son's driving". Did not fix the problem. Was told clutch issue and would cost $1300 to repair!!!! No way.
