| Description of the problem | Car acted like it was about to running out of gas. I had about 1/4 tank of gas but went to fill the tank immediately. It still acted as if it was going to stall out, i drove vehicle home and left it parked in the driveway. Later that evening i was telling my husband about the car, he went out to test drive it. The car acted completely fine. Today i went to go on a 65 mile trip and the car started shaking almost uncontrollably more than 1/2 way with a full tank of gas. I waited til i was in a safe area and pulled over thinking that maybe i didn't warm the car up enough. I sat for several minutes and proceeded ahead to my destination but was petrified that i was gonna stall out cause that's how the car was acting. As soon as i arrived i called ford and told them and they wanted me to wait a few days for an available appt. We took the car to a local mechanic and he made us aware that the problem was a tbs. The pcm is bad and coils are melted. I was just wondering if there was ever a recall issued for this problem since i've read so many of the same complaints. |
