Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND INCREASE RPMS. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. ENGINE IDLE IN PARK MAKES A LOUD HELICOPTER SOUND WHEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE SOUND IS NOT HEARD AS LOUD. AFTER DOING LENGTHY RESEARCH THIS COMMON PROBLEM WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS BY FORD AT AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE (70,000MI).FORD HAS YET TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES VOLUNTARILY. DEALERS INSIST TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING (COMMON THEME).NO WAY THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 70,000! THIS IS A MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY ISSUE. I'M JUST THANKFUL I DIDN'T HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR
