Consumer Description

I CURRENTLY HAVE A LAW SUIT PENDING WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. ONE OF MY MAJOR COMPLAINTS IS THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A TRANSMISSION THAT LUNGES AND IS NOT SMOOTH. IT FREQUENTLY FEELS LIKE YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE DUE TO HESITATION. THE VEHICLE TACHS 3 OR 4 NUMBER WHEN TRANSITIONING BETWEEN GEARS. FORD HAS HAD MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND HAD AN ENGINEER EXAMINE THE VEHICLE AND RUN TESTS FOR ONE WEEK. THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS SUPPOSEDLY JUST HOW AN ECOBOOST ENGINE WORKS. IT IS STILL AN ONGING ISSUE FOR ME 6 MONTHS LATER. *TR
