Throttle body failed as i was driving at speed on the freeway. When it failed, the vehicle immediately went into idle mode which made it very dangerous to avoid traffic as i attempted to move onto the shoulder of the freeway. The car moved at no more than 5mph! The repair is very expensive. I feel that this part should not fail after just 76,000 miles. Attached is the repair bill. *tr

Automatic transmission has trouble shifting into low gear. Doesn't want to accelerate after stopping. Sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Have read many complaints about this online and ford just claims it isn't their problem. Also, all gauges quit working at approx 70,000 miles. Fuel system is terrible. Will not pump gas past half a tank and spits gas back out while pumping like its full. Causes pump to constantly…

I was driving down the road at the speed limit when all of a sudden the engine light came on and the car immediately stalled. I had to pull over to the shoulder and put my hazards on so i didn't get hit from behind or cause a dangerous accident to the other motorists.
