I financed this car with Wii Auto in Arizona , I have had work done multiple times trying to fix the problem and nothing Wii auto mechanic or Ford dealership can figure out the problem. Every time I get my car out the shop and spending all this money “to fix the problem” my car does the same thing. My car will shut off while I’m driving because it thinks it’s over heating. I’ve had my battery replaced, fuel pumps/modules replaced, coolant tank replaced, everything they can thing of. I haven’t drove my car in months and I’m still making payments because when I try and talk to the dealership they basically say oh well, the car in my eyes was sold to me as a lemon my car has been in the shop more times than I can think. I have all the paperwork and I feel so helpless because every time I try and talk to Wii Auto they just brush me off like it’s not a major problem. I almost lost my life in this car because it shut off while I was driving in the freeway. I’ve even gotten loaner cars from this dealership when they were “working on my car” and they’ve done the same things like shut off on me or even almost cost me my life because the back tires were literally coming off the car. I’m in need of help. I’m tired of making payments on a car I haven’t even got to drive. I had to literally go and financed a whole Different car from a different dealership because Wii Auto won’t help.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY STUTTERING AND OVERHEATING AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. FORD HAS AN EXTENDED /TSB FOR THE TRANSMISSION REGARDING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT FALL WITHIN THE MILEAGE AND YEAR. REASON IS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT LAST YEAR WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVETRAIN AND THEY HAVE CANCELLED ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CAR.

FLAT TIRE WHILE PARKED. VEHICLE STRANDED IN DRIVEWAY. LUG WRENCH THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT LUG NUTS. UNABLE TO REMOVE WHEEL TO INSTALL SPARE. TRIED USING SOCKET WRENCH.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR OR EVEN ALLOWING MY CAR TO IDLE IT STARTS SHAKING AND WILL SHUT OFF. ONCE IT IS OFF IT IS VERY HARD TO GET AND KEEP IT STARTED. ONCE I DO GET IT STARTED I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE BETWEEN 3K AND 4K RPM JUST TO GET IT TO STOP DOING THIS. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN OR IDLING BUT IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. I USED INJECTOR CLEANER AND OCTANE BOOSTER TO TRY TO HELP BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. IT IS THROWING A FUEL ISSUE WHEN PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC. IT HAPPENS TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT IS PROBABLY THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED ALTHOUGH IF FALLS WITHIN THE YEAR OF THE RECALL.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX]. I AM EMAILING YOU BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM/CONCERN. MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION. SO IN APRIL OF 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT CARMEN FORD IN NEWCASTLE, DE WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE RECALL HAD CAME ON AND IT WAS JERKING. THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED IT. WELL IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE SAME CODE AND WAS JERKING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO CARMEN FORD. THEY HAD MY CAR THREE WEEKS AND THEY SAID ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RESET TWO THINGS THAT WEREN'T MATCHING UP. THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS STILL JERKING. THEY HAD MY CAR TWO IN A HALF MORE WEEKS THAN CALLED ME AND SAID THAT 4 TECHS DROVE MY CAR AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEM AND IT WASN'T JERKING. SO I WENT UP THERE AGAIN ON JANUARY 13,2020 AND DID A RIDE TEST WITH BILL WHO AT THIS TIME HAD NOTICED THE JERKING MY CAR WAS DOING THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO CARMEN FORD WHERE HE SAID HE WILL LET THE TECHS NO IT'S JERKING NOW. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLED ME AND SAID THE TECH DID A SHUTTER TEST AND IT'S NORMAL. HE SAID THAT SOMETIMES FORD CARS DO THE JERKING AND THAT IT IS NORMAL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IT HAS ONLY DONE IT THESE TWO TIMES THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THIS RECALL THING. HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO AND MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15,2020. WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WAS MAKING A LOUDER NOISE THAN HAD BEEN, STILL JERKING VERY BAD AND NOW WILL NOT REVERSE. I CALLED THE SERVICE SHOP AT CARMEN FORD SATURDAY MORNING JANUARY 16,2020@ 10:30AM AND THEY BASICALLY BLEW ME OFF. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAN I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH IN THAT CAR AND I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX ANYTHING BUT KEEP TELLING ME IT'S FINE.
