Consumer Description

IN THE PAST MONTH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKING MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START UP. ONCE I WOULD GET IT STARTED AND DROVE IT DOWN THE ROAD AT A STOP LIGHT IT WOULD BE JOLTY, VIBRATING FEELING AND THEN TURN OFF. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD IT ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ME. I TOOK IT TO FORD WHO CHARGED ME $100 TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE IT TO TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. I TOOK IT TO AAMCO THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY SCREW THAT CAME APART AND WAS SHREDDED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. $4K LATER THE VEHICLE IS FIXED AND WORKING PROPERLY. *TR
