A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire the check engine and the fuel firing inlet warning lights illuminated. while driving the car two different times the system completely shut down causing me to pull over in the middle of driving. while car is idle system shuts down. a number of times
While turning into my driveway i slowed to make the turn and my car immediately accelerated rpms revved up. no damage was done. then a couple of days later i was pulling into a parking space and slowed to make the turn and the rpms shot up again causing me to hit a parked car and also a building before i could bring the car to a stop. i took the car immediately to gray daniels dealership in brandon ms and they told me they cld not even look at it until tuesday. this was friday june 15, 2018. no injuries occurred, my airbag did not deploy. car has significant damage but was drivable. i was uncomfortable driving the car so i got a rental car and took the mkz back to gray daniels. after researching this issue, it seems a common problem and it is called electromagnetic interference causing unwanted acceleration. this is a huge safety issue that ford has known about for years!!!! the dealerships are also aware! even though gray daniels played ignorant, they are aware. i have sent them an email of countless complaints made because of this issue and over 5000 deaths that have occurred and a huge lawsuit stimpson vs ford for this very reason! i want this problem resolved and a formal complaint filed. i will also be advising ford motor company (not that they will do anything) of the dealership and how i was treated. the dealership was completely unprofessional and my daughter even went to the dealership and explained their seriousness of the issue still gray daniels could care less and told my daughter to stop video and audio recording. i've attached 5 complaints that i found online. i could provide many more but your site does not allow more than 5. something needs to be done!!!!
