Glad to hear it is working better for you.
 
I decided to get rid of mine and did so a while ago.
 
I bought a BMW and is probably the best decision I made in a vehicle.
 
Good luck with yours!

I had same problem, i have 09 escape V6, when i go on a stop and go, when i push the gas it seems like nothing happened. they Reprogrammed the transmission it was TSB but i dont remember the number of it.
 
I also, have this ticking noise that comes off the RIGHT front side of the engine, that only happens after a long distance drive.
 
When parked uphill, frontend down, i get oil leak that comes off from the left side of the engine, by the oil pan.
 
RPM when about to stop they go down to about 600 then back up to 1000 then back down.
 
I have a sunroof that went out of alignment, they had to fix it 2x.
 
Bottom line, not happy w this car.

Sorry to hear about your issues.
 
Like I said, I finally got rid of it and bought a BMW and really like it.
 
Good luck my friend.

I have a '06 Mazda Tribute with 4cyl, Automatic Trans, 84,000 miles. Since April at 70,000 miles the dealer has been trying to find what causes this stuttering. After vehicle warms from standing stop as I accelerate at 500 RPM intervals starting at 2000 the engine stutters, shutters, and violently looses power. After shifting to second gear the stutter only happens occasionally. I also noticed a bump or jolt while at steady throttle between 35 & 60. On the highway beyond 60 it is fine, for a 4 banger...
Fuel pump, fuel Filter, fuel pressure regulator, Charcoal Canister, Air Filter, PCM, Catalytic Converter, and a short at the ECM have been addressed. Yet the problem remains. I very concerned about the effect on the drive train as this stuttering continues. I have no more patience.

Anyone experiencing stalling or surging may want to contact the NHTSA.

I sure hope they do something about it.
 
I have noticed that my "SUV" surge forward when i drive while its still cold. And of course the dealer says there is nothing wrong with and the tech could not replicate the issue. I cant wait to be done with school so i can trade that junk "FOUND ON the ROAD DEAD" FORD. For something better.
