Consumer Description

I TURNED MY CAR ON AND REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I HIT THE STREET MY CAR WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE CAR TURNED ON BUT WOULD NOT MOVE LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS AND HAVE FOUND A LARGE COMMUNITY ONLINE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OR WORSE WITH THESE CARS. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T CARE AND WILL NOT RECALL THESE CARS. SOMEONE WITH A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ON A FORUM DIRECTED ME HERE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS WELL MAINTAINED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. *TR *JS
