NHTSA Complaint #10478454 — 2007 FORD EDGE

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY TRANSMISSIONS VIOLENT SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND SOMETIMES FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME ONLY 2 OR 3 TIMES PER WEEK FOR AS LONG AS I AM DRIVING IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO LUMBERTON FORD CONCERNING THIS AND THEY STATED IT DID NOT THROW ANY CODES. TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (DUH) SO HEY ADVISED ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT WAS ACTIVELY DOING IT. MOST OF THE TIMES ITS AFTER HOURS OR WHILE I AM IN ROUTE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR GOING SOMEWHERE. MOST PEOPLE JUST DON'T CRUISE AROUND DURING THE WEEK. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO TODAY WHEN I FOUND FORD TSB 7 5 2 AND PROVIDED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SWEAR THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. FIRST WHEN I SPOKE TO THE GUY COUPLE DAYS AGO HE COULDN'T EVEN PULL IT UP ON HIS SYSTEM THEN HE SAID THE TECH ADAMANTLY DENIED THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS WHAT TSB 7 5 2 STATES - DTC P0771, P0774 AND / OR STARTS IN 4TH GEAR FROM A STOP, HARSH 4-1 DOWNSHIFT ON DRIVE AWAY AT 3 MPH. 6F50 TRANSAXLE BUILT PRIOR TO 01-10-07. *KB IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE IT TO ME. HE IS EXPECTING IT THROW A CODE BUT IT CLEARLY STATES THAT AND/OR. I AM FAIRLEY MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH FORD OR THE NHTSB IN NOT DEMANDING A RECALL. MY POWER TRAIN WAS ASSEMBLED IN 11/06 AND I FEEL FORD IS TRYING TO DODGE A BULLET. SHAME ON YOU. *TR
