Randomly the car will 'stall' to to speak even though it is an automatic and not a 5-speed. when i say stall i am referring to when i am stopped at a stop sign, red light, yielding to turn, etc - when i go to hit the gas the rpm's rev up high and the car speed is very low and at a rolling speed - even though i push down all of the way in order to get the car to speed up to avoid being struck my other vehicles when turning. the car will then regain all speed at once - instead of gradually. this has happened numerous times while i am trying to merge onto an oncoming interstate ramp or am at a red light or stop sign. i have missed being hit thus far but have had a few close calls. i have a check engine light on and have taken it to several dealerships and auto mechanic shops that have been unable to determine an issue with the car. they have read the check engine code and have found nothing wrong with the car.
Just driving and all of a sudden loud metal noise. then intermittent metal scraping sound. took it to the shop and they said it's an axel and transmission problem. it will cost more to repair than the car is worth. i still owe 2 years of payments. terrible absolutely terrible. on a city street coming to a stop at a light traveling approximately 25mph. no accident or anything just driving slow coming to a stop.
My vehicle will be in motion while driving and suddenly have a shifting problem. the vehicle will shake and stutter and looses power no matter how much you press your foot on the gas peddle. my engine light flashed on and off a couple times and then once my vehicle shifted, it would idle rough and act like it was going to die when i would stop at a light. this has been happening for several days now at different speeds on residential streets and the highway. the engine light has not come on since. i took it to have the error code read from the engine light coming on but it was only a generic code. one of the codes was for an airbag sensor. i do not know what is wrong with it.

Engine unexpectedly shuts off while driving at various speeds without any warning.
We bought our car used in 2008/2009. we took our car into a dealership when it was under warranty because of exhaust fumes. we often are smelling exhaust but since the dealership dismissed our problem we have been dealing with it all these years as 'normal'. i recently was hearing of police officers with ford vehicles passing out or having damage because of the fumes in their ford suv. i took my daughter to the doctor a few years ago after being on a trip in the vehicle because she was throwing up on the way there and back. the doctors gave her back x-rays and said that it was just motion sickness.. she often complains of being sick in the car. i also don't like the fumes, but just drive it. now i realize it may be a problem that was ignored by ford to begin with. the more i drive it the more dizzy spells i have during the day. the fumes are almost immediately when we run the vehicle and when driving. this is been re-accuring since we bought the vehicle with around 50k, now it has ...

While driving my steering became really hard to turn still was able to go down the road but it was very difficult to turn. took my escape to a repair shop and was told my electronic steering sensor is bad. i do not have the time nor the money to deal with this issue and this is definitely a safety issue. i also have an issue with my exhaust manifold leaking three exhaust manifold bolts are broken off causing a hissing noise. i can smell the exhaust in my vehicle when parked.

I was traveling on the autobahn in germany and the car for no apparent reason shut off and displayed the 'stop safely now' message. there was no where to pull over so i had to stop in the middle of the road. luckily there was hardly no traffic. this happened 5 times in 1 hour.
