After turning the car on and starting to drive, the car randomly will start to lose power. The car will then just stop moving. The car ignition will still be in the on position and in drive gear. It doesn't do it all the time randomly throughout the day. It sometimes will have cut the power off to preserve power and then cut off after the car starts to slow down.

The bushing that attaches to the shifter cable broke from the transmission, which made my car appear to be in park, however, it was not. I was pumping gas, when i was done, i turned my car on and went to take it out of park and it would not move, showing my car was in another gear, which caused my car to roll forward almost slamming into the gas station. The parking brake was not applied until after this happened.…

Takata recall. Sync system quits working, tries to restart but doesn't. Rear back-up camera is inoperable with this condition as well as any entertainment (radio, cd, sirius, etc.) & navigation. Upon search of internet it is a wide spread issue they are aware of and making consumers pay for known widespread issue.

Car has broken down 3 times and has only 38000 miles on it. I have been without a car for a month because ford can not figure out what is wrong with it. First time it was supposedly the catalytic converter which they replaced. Second time they tried to say that the part was bad so they replaced it again. It is again in the shop undergoing diagnosis. It has completely stopped/lost acceleration and turned off…

Without warning, the car seemingly shut off or "throttled down" and began…
