I searched the VIN and advised that there was a recall: NHTSA recall numberawaiting#.
The contact was not called back and the contact stated that the check-engine light did not blink. The contact was also told that someone would call back. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the attendant told the contact that the vehicle was safe to drive, if the check-engine light blinked. The contact called the coughlin Ford of pataskala dealer (74, located at 9800 worthington rd, pataskala, OH 43062) where the technician recommended a diagnostic test. The contact also stated that the vehicle shut off at any attempt to take off from a stop. The contact stated that while driving about 65 mph, and attempted to slow down, the rpm went down and the engine shut off.
The car has started displaying new transmission issues related to the software in which now the vehicle will no longer go in reverse and just the other day while driving at 75 to 80 mph on the highway my vehicle slammed it self into second gear very hard and then into neutral I was almost rear ended at approximately 85 mph in which I could have died this is unacceptable afford to not except responsibility and offer a buyback for these vehicles I have spent countless hours of my time with this vehicle and have had several occasions with engine loss power transmission would not shift slamming into key lower gears at high rate of speed complete car shut down all of these issues in which I could have been in a fatal accident with and we still have no resolution after several years I am out raged. My vehicles transmission has been replaced several times and had a tcm replacement as well and still is not working it is also had two clutches and several software updates with no success. This vehicle has been in and out of Ford dealership 5-6 times for safety related issues. If that had let go while she was traveling the 70 mph speed limit there could have been a fatal accident. The issue with this is my wife had been 110 miles away and had drove home Saturday July 27. Monday afternoon, after they had time to look at vehicle, I received a call telling me that the "alternator " was faulty and they would get back to me when they had the replacement which turned out to be the next day. The car would not restart after a few minutes, so aaa called to tow it back to dealership. The car then slowed down a bit losing power, then several other signals appeared on screen, brakes and a few others, then the engine shut down and power went out. While driving the car, 4 days after having the 2nd clutch replacement at 30,000 miles, it was on a street not highway, the cars electronic dash displayed "transmission fault fix now". #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly 3 - VIN corrected, error in one position (assuming check digit is correct) 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. Can get photos from my daughter-in-law as I didn't take any at the time. Vehicle was stationary and just shut off when incident occurred. Vehicle had been garage kept since new and no maintenance performed on vehicle other than 1 recall which dealer took care of it in 2/2020. Did damage to my sons motor home and driveway.
