I had noticed coolant depleting finally got recall. dealer reprograms now engine is just revving and looses all power to powertrain in multiple situation-3 from stop, 4 while going highway speed with constant speed prior each time the engine rev's up while giving no power. then will spontaneously resolve within about 50ft then seems fine. i have video of the car doing this while i was attempting to get on the highway. we looked at oil and there is milk looking residue. the loosing power has only happened since reprogram for recall and now the cam shaft & high pressure fuel pump are destroyed per dealer this is my issue not recall related. again these problems have only started within a week of the recall reprogramming of the vehicle
While driving my car it began to accelerate on its on, i was able to control the speed by pushing on the brakes, the instant i removed my foot of the break the car accelerated on its own again. i found an area to park, turned off the car. i restarted the car to drive home the car again accelerated on its own, i parked it in a open lot , turned the car off. when i started the car the engine made a loud rubbing sound. at this point i had my car towed for service.
Brake lights do not illuminate when adaptive cruise control applies them; brake lights do function normally on manual braking. the apparent design flaw of brake lights failing to illuminate when adaptive cruise control applies the brakes violates the safety principle of brake lighting altogether. such a design should not be allowed on the road as it could lead to increased collisions under certain conditions. this condition is observed to happen consistently.
My car allecrates at a fast speed by it's self, i have taken to the shop 3 times and they can't find any codes, they tried to say it was my floor mats, well those have been replaced and once again my car is accelerating without my foot on the actual gas , when it does that my engine makes a loud noise which the service manager said was from high rpm's

Purchased nov 2017- on may 23rd, 2018 my check engine light came on. i contacted services at the ford dealer the following morning. i was at the dealer first thing tuesday morning due to the holiday weekend, where they ran diagnostics on my vehicle. i was informed that it needed a new engine. the engine coolant had mixed with oil and was in the 2nd compression cylindar and a bulletin that this was the steps to be taken to rectify the situation. the engine was replaced with the same engine model as the original with no modification that rectify the manufacture defect i was informed their statistics indicate that 1 in 5 of these vehicles are returning for a second new engine on june 12th, i got the call that my engine had been replaced and it was ready for pick up. i drove it home that evening as well as, to and from work wednesday, thursday and friday. three days is all it took at about 25 miles a day, friday night on my way home from work the car started shaking on a busy section of the highway, (93sb between 293 and exit 5) where there is construction and little to no pull off points, my speed drops down to 20miles per hour and when i tried to accelerate that engine just raced. i almost get hit as two cars swerve to miss me at high speeds, thankful they were awake at the wheel during rush hour. i managed to get off the next exit and pull into a parking lot. shut off the vehicle. i'm 2 miles from home and after waiting for the traffic to drop a bit from people trying to get home i take the back roads at 20mph the rest of the way home. the cars engine would race when i stopped and slowly accelerate to 20 shaking along the way. services stated the computer needed to be replaced on monday morning. this does not qualify for lemon law due to being out of the vehicle for under 30 business days however, this is a significant safety issue that needs attention.
