Consumer Description

2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ONCE THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE CAR SHIFTS ABRUPTLY AND ALSO SHAKES THE CAR. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN HARD THAN NORMAL THEN UPSHIFTS AND OR DOWN SHIFTS WHILE ACCELERATING AT A NORMAL PICK UP. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO A FALSE NEUTRAL THEN BUT IF THE FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR IS STILL REVVING UP. VERY ODD. THIS ISSUE STARTED TO SHOW UP AROUND 52, 000 MILES AND I HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF FORD INTEND ON FIXING. THE RESPONSE WAS "THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR REPAIRING THE ISSUE". THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN CONSUMER REPORTS BUT THE WRITE ONLY STATED HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ABRUPTLY". I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF AN ELDER BUT I DO KNOW MANY ELDERLY PEOPLE DRIVE THESE CARS AND HOW IT COULD POTENTIALLY FRIGHTEN AN ELDERLY DRIVER. BASICALLY "THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT". *TR
