The rear differential appears to be an issue on these vehicles. 2021-2022 models/vehicles were recalled for having an issue with the rear differential. Fortunately there was not an accident with my vehicle as I was able to determine that it shouldn-??t be driven. However, I-??m told by the dealership that there are 155 vehicles waiting for the same repair (a rear differential replacement), and that the part to repair it is unavailable. With this information, I can-??t Imagine how many vehicles are still on the road with this problem. There does not appear to be a recall on older models, nor has this issue been reviewed by the mechanics that work for the company. At the very least, this issue should be reviewed during routine maintenance.

Entering freeway and car stopped accelerating. Engine was on but would not respond to the gas peddle. Coasted to side of road and engine still on but no response to gas peddle. Turned car off and restarted and it ran normally. Could have been a great danger if there had been heavy traffic.
While driving on city streets, the engine unexpectedly quit and the gears switched from drive to neutral on its own. This has happened 5 times so far. It is dangerous and could be life threatening.
The SUV pto or power transfer unit over heats leaks gear oil and burns on exhurst pipes. Have to pull over to breathe and let cool down. Dealer says it is a sealed unit and should not leak. No way to service unit so you have to replace for over $2400 dollars

While driving on a highway in rush hour traffic, my vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and warning light/wrench symbol came on. I could not accelerate over 10 mph and limped to side of road. I turned off vehicle for about 20 minutes, after that turned back on and vehicle worked completely normal. I drove to dealer immediately, they replaced throttle body and updated software. My vehicle has 10,400 miles.
Traveling down interstate at 70 mph, when vehicle lost power. Service warning light appeared on dash, followed quickly by engine service light. No response to the gas pedal. Turned off vehicle and restarted and it operated normally for about 10 minutes. 11000 miles on an 8 month old Mkx. Serious safety issue.
Lost acceleration on the car. Car moved no more than 5 miles per hour. Using the gas pedal did not move the car. The vehicle was in motion on a city street. I was later told by the dealership that there is a problem with the throttle body.
The car has stalled 6 or 7 times when attempting to park. The dealership seems to have fixed that problem. A more serious problem occurred on June 7 while we were on vacation in new orleans la. Driving down a busy street, I slowed for traffic and the engine quit. I was able to move to the right and avoid an accident. Restarted car and continued driving. As you may expect, my wife is very concerned that this may happen again and she or I will not have time to get out of the way of approaching traffic. My daughter did some research and found this site that lists many similar complaints with other Ford> suggest you check out the website.this should open up to that question about Ford cars stalling https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T35446_ds471580 have stalling and similar problems been reported for these cars? I have an appointment at the dealership on 27 June to have them check the problem. This will be the third time the dealership has attempted to solve these stalling problems. If they cannot correct the problem on this attempt I will have to seek relief through the Florida lemon law.
