Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry your having problems with this vehicle so I'll try to help you with this issue.The website may prompt if you want a call, but that would be up to you. So there could be a few little things and some bigger issues, so first I would check or change the air filter and the oil. and then check the air pressure and where you are getting fuel, as the fuel could be an issue as well, if all these seem in order, then check the condition of the tires, and then check the [brakes](/topics-brake-ford/) to see if any of the calipers are allowing it to drag.

Oh okay

After all of that then you may want to have it checked at the dealer to see if there is anything going on with the hybrid drive.

Okay thanks, I'll take it in Saturday. You've been very helpful
