MY VEHICLE MOTOR QUIT ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOME AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO RESTART THE MOTOR. THE SMELL OF GAS BECAME VERY STRONG AND I GOT OUT AND COULD SEE WHERE A STREAM OF GAS HAD STARTED 50 YARDS BACK ON THE STREET AND A PUDDLE WAS UNDER THE GAS TANK. I GOT THE HECK OUT OF THERE AND CALLED FORD ROAD ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE FORD DEALER.THE SAFETY RECALL 13S04 FOR REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN PERFORMED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND 1000 MILES AGO. THE DEALER HAD NOT INSTALL THE O RING SEAL PROPERLY. THEY DID IT AGAIN AND SAY IT IS GOOD TO DRIVE. I AM NOT SO SURE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
INTERMITTENT NO START OF VEHICLE. TOWED TO DEALER AFTER 5 PREVIOUS INCIDENTS. DELIVERED TO DEALERSHIP IN SAME NO START BEHAVIOR. UPON INITIAL ATTEMPT A RELAY WAS REPLACED AS THE PCM (MAIN ENGINE COMPUTER) WAS NOT RECEIVING POWER. SERVICE ADVISOR CALLS TO INDICATE VEHICLE IS READY AND STARTS UP AFTER REPAIR. AT THE DEALERSHIP, PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, CAR STARTS UP, HOWEVER, DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP, WARNING "CHECK AWD, CHECK THIS, CHECK THAT..." SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON AS WELL (THE WRENCH). SHUT THE CAR DOWN, TRY TO RESTART, WILL NOT RESTART. TECH IS WITH ME AND OBSERVES BEHAVIOR AND TRIES AS WELL. NO START AGAIN. TECH ATTEMPTS TO DOWNLOAD ERROR CODES. MENTIONS RFI INTERFERENCE. WILL BE DOING ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. PREVIOUSLY, CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR STALLING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65+). ENDED UP BEING A SOAKED PCM (MAIN ENGINE COMPUTER). THIS TOOK TWO TRIPS (TOWED BOTH TIMES). THIS IS NOW FOUR TIMES TO REPAIR THE SAME NON-RUNNING / NO START DEFECT. THE REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO REPAIRED DUE TO DRAGGING CALIPERS AS PER TSB 10-7-2. *TR
