This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
There's a fuel system gas delivery malfunction. Vehicle can be inspected per request. Car won't turn on right after having gas pumped. In one occasion while stopped at a red light the vehicle started making this strange loud noise on and off. I had to pull over at a parking lot nearby. The car also had a rolling motion feeling, the speed dial would be moving from 0-2 on its own while being stopped. My husband inspected the car and with a diagnostic device got error code P1450. There are existing recalls for same fuel gas problem for the same make and model and year as our vehicle but our VIN number isn't included in those recalls. My check engine light first showed up mid or late February 2024 and early this month is when my car started showing problems, once while on the road and the other instances after pumping gas.
After driving the car for several hours, the car will all of a sudden stall after waiting a a stop light or idle. When pushing the accelerator taking off from a stop, the the car bucks and stalls. The code the Ford dealer read off the diagnostic tablet was P0087... I just got my car back from the Ford dealer without a repair, because they could not replicate the problem. The tech only drove it 22 miles, and I told the service manager that I expect it to stall again, which it did after 2 days of driving. The car has to be running for a while for this to occur. Stalling in an intersection is dangerous! Oxygen sensors have been changed 4 times, and each time black and sooted. MAS, MAF, fuel pressure sensors have been changed. Something is causing the O2 sensors to go bad. Fuel injection cleaning was suggested. One mechanic mentioned PCV valve could be an issue. I drive about 1200 miles per week city driving.
Vehicle year is listed as recalled under NHTSA recall 15V005 but not included based on production date. After starting vehicle and navigating into moving traffic, vehicle exhibited identical symptoms (stopping unexpectedly while in motion, no force to gas pedal, slowing to a stop/locking up as if in acc mode). Check engine light illuminated, vehicle restarts after full shut down and drives. Upon next subsequent start up vehicle stops unexpectedly at random and requires full restart all while in motion. Evaluation by licensed technician reviewing vehicle code lists fuel pump failure identical to recall specifications. High risk as shut down is unexpected and occurs while in motion among other vehicles at speeds at or above 5mph
I've brought my car back numerous times for the same problem, a problem that began within the first month or purchase. I've asked for documentation off all the 'repairs' to no avail. Some of the ways the problem presents its self include the following- soon after starting the car & beginning the drive it completely stalls and shuts off, it could take numerous tries before restart. Or other times while driving it suddenly slows down and shuts off in the middle of traffic, with my children in the car, this happened and it would not restart! I had to push it to the adjacent gas station and wait almost 2 hours for dealers repair to send a tow truck. The other way this issue manifests itself is after filling the tank with gas. It starts, sputters and shuts off! the last time I brought it in they refused a rental, took about 6 weeks to repair. I had to pay out of pocket for a rental. They finally reimbursed me but it took weeks after the 6 weeks of shelling out well over $1,000

My Lincoln is eating way to much gas. I see that they had a recall on the pump fuel and I am trying to figure out if this is a problem. I can fill up my truck and go a couple of blocks and I have to fill up my truck within two days.
Gas tank would suck in air, begin to run very ruff and then stall. Would have to open the gas door and push the seal open in order to allow air into the tank.
We purchased a 2015 Mkc on March 31st, 2016 new. We were driving the car on the highway at 70 mph on April 10th, 2016 and the engine shut off. It was very dangerous. We were able to move the car off to the side of the road so that traffic could go around us but the situation was very dangerous. Our car was towed to a dealer. The diagnostic ran on the car said the fuel pump had an issue. We googled our issue and found that a recall exist for 2015 Mkcs for fuel pumps. Our cars VIN is not associated with the recall be we clearly suffered the same issue. Our car should have been on the recall list and the car should not have been sold to us without replacing the fuel pump. The recall is #14S30.
