I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES AROUND 35 MILES PER HR, ON A STREET. I SLOWED DOWN TO CHANGE LANES TO ENTER THE FREEWAY RAMP.THEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IT WOULD BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND LOSE POWER. THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED, BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER, AROUND A FEW FEET, INTO A SERVICE STATION . THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I KEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. MAYBE ONE MINUTE LATER, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. THE ACCELERATOR WORKED PROPERLY. INSTEAD OF ENTERING THE FREEWAY I TOOK ANOTHER ROUTE HOME,WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS 4/11/2019. AFTER INSPECTING IT,FORD STATED THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE AROUND 76,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY MUCH AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY DANGER THAT IT POSE. I AM RETURNING IT BACK TO FORD FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY WARNING BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH, IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE USUAL TRAFFIC OR IF I WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE FREEWAY AS PLANNED.

Official recalls
3Nov 10, 2020
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Explorer, 2014-2015 Taurus and 2014 Edge vehicles equipped with 2.0L or 2.3L engines and front wheel drive. The support bracket for the front drive axle halfshaft may fail.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The failed bracket could result in a loss of park function which can cause unintended vehicle movement, and loss of motive power while driving which increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the link shaft bracket, free of charge. Parts are not currently available. Owners received an interim notification detailing safety risk December 8, 2020. A second letter will be mailed when parts become available in January 2021. The recall began February 2, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S63.
Jan 9, 2015
Ford Motor Company (Ford) notified the agency on January 8, 2015, that they are recalling certain model year 2014 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured April 15, 2014, to May 8, 2014, and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles manufactured April 21, 2014, to May 15, 2014. On April 30, 2015, Ford expanded the recall to cover an additional 45,505 vehicles, including certain model year 2014-2015 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured November 11, 2013, to August 29, 2014, 2014-2015 Ford Fiesta vehicles manufactured April 10, 2014, to June 17, 2014 and 2014 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured April 30, 2014, to May 21, 2014. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S30.
Jul 2, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.
