Consumer Description

ALMOST FROM DAY ONE I THOUGHT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. FORD NEVER INFORMED ME, SO I WAITED UNTIL IT WAS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO DROP IT OFF AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION KICKED AS IF SOMEONE HAD RUN INTO THE BACK OF US OR THE TRANSMISSION WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY LUNGE THE SUV FORWARD AS IT CAME TO A STOP. THE CONSUMER STATED IN ORDER FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM AND REPLACE THE BAD SOFTWARE PART WITH A NEW SOFTWARE PART. EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM MOST LIKELY WOULD RETURN. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. UPDATED 04/07/10.
