Initial ignition of the car results in engine stall out post abnormal ignition time. fusion will display "power run active" then "press brake to start". this will repeat after another ignition attempt and re-show the same messages on the dashboard. after a third ignition attempt the engine does not stall out. the problem is not a sudden onset but initial symptoms of the issue is that the car will stall out after 10 seconds of driving. initial re-ignition post stall results in normal function of the car without extra issue. however, this event becomes increasingly common over time until it simply stalls out immediately post ignition. despite multiple trips to a ford certified professional mechanic, no codes are given by the computer which renders diagnosis of the faulty part or cause of the issue near impossible. problem may present itself as faulty alternator, battery, or starter. however, even after replacement of any possibly faulty aforementioned parts the problem still persists.

While operating my vehicle from a stop to a rolling position, the transmission is not propelling the car forward like it should. i compare it to a manual transmission scenario where the clutch isn't released all the way, so the rpms rev-up, but the car moves forward a very slow pace. this has been going on for about 2 months now. nothing seems to resolve the issue. this occurs everyday, regardless of engine temperature or weather.
When driving the vehicle will give a notification in the dash about low coolant- service required. the vehicle will then 'shut off' in the middle of no (highway, city road, or even parking lot) where and will say it's over heated. turn the vehicle off and then back on and it runs just fine for over 20 minutes and does it again. had taken to the local ford dealership and they 'fixed' the problem that lasted a week- they changed the thermostat, hoses, sensors.
