Beach plans being ruined are the worst! Please send me a private message with your name, phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealer; I'll see how I can help.

They said they will let me know Tuesday if it seems like I'm getting the run around I will send you my info after... Thank you
 






I feel your pain on the out of service time! I just got mine back after a week in the shop and me in a '15 Focus. So far I have spent over 3 weeks in loaners in the 11 months I have had this car. The worst part is having to get special permission from Ford every time I need a loaner.

My 16 sport had a similar issue. The check engine light would come on intermittently and I ended up going to the dealership 4-5 times for it. Mine would shut off and come on at random. After replacing a number of sensors repeatedly, they ended up replacing the cars computer. I have been driving for 4 months now with no CEL.

The techs have said that the codes were showing that it was a bad sensor however when they isolated the sensor and tested it separately, it was fine. They did mention that it could have been a short in a wire that was also replaced with the computer.

Good luck, I know that I didn't buy a 3 row SUV to spend my time in a 2-liter econo car...
 






Exactly now I'm cruising the holiday weekend in a cmax or whatever that hideous thing is ....What u describe is exactly what I'm going through ...

Sounds like a plan, TTSport15! :)

I'm glad they were able to get it figured out, RealtorMatt. If you have any Ford questions or concerns in the future, please reach out!

At least you had a vehicle, yes less than ideal but could have been worse or out of your pocket.
Let's hope they figure out what is going wrong with your Sport.
