Ford recalled 202,000 vehicles and has a tsb for the bulkhead connection leakage in transmission, however my year 2011 was not, however i just paid over 600 for the repair and could've been killed had all the fluid leaked out. I think ford needs to take responsibility for all vehicles, not just cherry pick particular year model. Mine is only one year off and it should be part of the recall or perhaps another…

I arrived home from work and noticed some coolant leaking out of my car. I popped the hood and saw coolant seeping from the weep hole. When i cranked the car back up, coolant started pouring out underneath the car, bad water pump. I had it towed to dealership today and was told there is a technical bulletin on the hose leading to water pump because it allows air in and causes the water pump to fail. The entire area…

My vehicle loses acceleration of any kind intermittently. This always happens when my foot is off the gas pedal. When i pull over and put the car in park it hesitates loudly. If i turn the car off and let it sit it starts fine after a minute or two. The tech said it is the throttle body and needs to be replaced.

I've never had similar issue before this. I was accelerating slowly at a speed of approximately 20-30 mph when the car lurched, the "traction control" light and wrench light came on, and i was unable to accelerate the car at all. I was forced to pull to the side of the road. After about 30 seconds i attempted to restart the car and the engine turned a few extra times but did start. I was able to drive home (within…

I turned off the car after it seemed to vibrate a bit, waited a few moments, turned it back…

The electronic throttle body is defective. The car loses power and nothing happens when i step on the gas, but the engine does not turn off. I have pulled over and the car shakes pretty violently. Once i turn it off and back on everything seems fine for a while but eventually does it again. Got the code p2111. *tr

Defective electronic throttle body (etb) as per dealership diagnosis. Ford customer service is excluding mustangs from the customer satisfaction program 13n03 - which clearly states there is a problem with etbs during this time. Looking over the internet, it is clear that some mustangs where built with the same type of etb as the models covered under the program (fusion, escape, mercury mariner and mercury milan).…

When driving down the street all of a sudden it won't accelerate although the engine is still running. I had it towed to a ford dealership the first time it happened. They told me nothing was wrong. It has been doing it sporadically since then but got so bad the other day i had to have it towed in again. This time they replaced the throttle body. If they had caught it the first time while it was under warranty i…
