Oil pan leak rtv leak. this mkz is leaking up to 1/4 quart of oil a day.
Power loss when accelerating hard on the freeway (65mph+). power is significantly reduced, making me a hazard on the road! the vehicle continues to 'limp' until car is turned off and restarted. when i took it to the garage, the valves were found to have major carbon buildup and the #1 cylinder had a cracked spark plug.
Vehicle stalls/loses power once fuel reaches below half tank of gas. ford has issued tsb's on this very issue on many of their other engines, but i've been unable to find a tsb for this issue for my vehicle specifically. here is the tsb for ford focus's with this issue: ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2012-2018 ford focus vehicles with a 2.0l gdi or 2.0l gtdi engine. the canister purge valve (cpv) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system. tsb # 18s32. when pressure is being released from the gas tank via the fuel door opening, gas sprays out of the opening and goers stuck/hardened to exterior of car.
While driving in heavy traffic on the interstate attempted to change lanes and accelerate, car suddenly lost power and the "see manual" light illuminated with tool - fortunately was able to coast car off exit ramp safely and pull over, at which point the engine chugged and stalled. first restart "see manual" light still on, sputtered and stalled. turned off vehicle. 2nd attempt same as 1st. 3rd came on and ran without engine light and seemed to rev up higher than normal, then came back down. no other indications appeared other than "no use of auto brake available"
