Problems with Gas nozzle
!) For some reason that no one has been able to explain, my nozzle gets stuck in the neck of the gas tank. The dealership replaced the neck but it did not help. This was not a problem until the car was about 1 year old. the first time - unexpected incident - was awful. It was about 5:00 in the evening. I could not remove the nozzle after filling. The Mobil gas station manager tried to help but to no avail. I called the Ford roadside assistance 800- number. The man answering was very nice and obviously recognized my anxiety but could not really help. Several people filling their cars tried to help. Again, no resolution. I was tethered to the pump. This went on for several hours. The station wanted to close. I started to cry. The station called the police. Two cars came and were finally able to get the nozzle out. I was supposed to travel several hundred miles with the next few days but cancelled because I was afraid of fueling so far from home. The status now is that I put the nozzle in carefully and not very far in. This usually shuts off the pump several times but finally, if I hold the nozzle exactly in the same position, I can get fuel into the car. By the way, this happens not only at Mobil stations. I have had the same experience at BP and other stations. The dealer tried to help but I don't think I will purchase another Ford. 2) the heating/cooling system does not work well. (I admit I have not taken the car into the dealership.) Sometimes the heat/AC does not kick in until I am nearly home. This means I have driven over 1/2 hour before it starts to work. 3) Sometimes acceleration is jerky with thrusts forward. Again, my fault that I have not addressed this with the dealer.
