Hello all, Hopefully nobody else has experienced this problem, but maybe someone on here may have an idea of how to solve my issue. My car says "engine hot recommend shutting engine off" when driving in temperatures above 88 and on hilly roads, temperature gauge goes from normal to redline very quickly in these "occurrences". I took it into the dealer, and they were unable to duplicate these warning messages and there was no stored messages on the car's computer. fastforward to my next trip 2 months later, i drove to the desert and once again same warnings were displayed on my dash. The car is not too hot when touching the engine but the warnings keep coming and the dealer is unable to find the problem or fix the problem and basically telling me to deal with it. I don't feel comfortable driving a car that is having problems like this specially in the desert, where cell service is hard to come by and who pays almost 30K for a car, not to be able to drive it. I have Ford corporate involved now, but even they are unable to determine my problem. My question is this, would this be considered a lemon? Or what are my options? Thanks all for looking Quote MultiQuote Edit
