HE TELLS ME THAT HE THEN STOP THE CAR, AND STARTED AGAIN FORWARD, AND AT THIS TIME, HE DID NOT FEEL ANY PROBLEMS, SO I AGAIN STOPPED THE CAR, AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE. AND BACKED UP AT 4 MPH, HE DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS. HE AGAIN STOPPED THE CAR, AND THEN DROVE AGAIN FORWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH WITH NO PROBLEM TO HOME. 01/20/2015 I GOT INTO MY CAR WITH MY BOYFRIEND TO GO TO WORK, 915 AM. BOYFRIEND DRIVING.

AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP MY BOYFRIEND TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISER ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE CARS TRANSMISSION, AND HE WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISER, THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. HE THEN WENT ON TO STATE THAT THE FORD SERVICE BULLETIN STATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED MY A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, AND ALSO A INTERNAL LEAK IN THE CLUTCH HOUSING ON THE TRANSMISSION, AND THAT FORD WILL ONLY REPAIR THE ISSUE AT 1,500 MILES, NOT BEFORE THAT TIME.

THIS PROBLEM INITIALLY SURFACED WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND SOMETIMES STALL COMPLETELY, WHILE AT A STOP AND WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE A FAULTY EVAPORATION CANISTER PURGE VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I ADDED TO THE TANK DID NOT SEEM TO MATTER AS EACH TIME I DID SO, THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE OR STALL WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES FOLLOWING THE FILL-UP. ONCE THE STUMBLING OR STALL HAD OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT ISSUE (OR UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE) UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I WOULD NEED TO ADD FUEL. THE STUMBLING AND STALLING WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS IT TENDED TO OCCUR AS I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON-RAMP.
