Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE A LOUD RATTLING NOISE CAN BE HEARD. THIS NOISE STOPS TEMPORARILY WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED FROM "PARK" TO "DRIVE". THE NOISE THEN BECOMES PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. GAS MILEAGE HAS DECLINED WHEN DRIVING. WHEN PARKING ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT ACCELERATING THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN/MATERIALS IN THE "CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION" (CVT). FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AT NO CHARGE AND HAS NOT MODIFIED CVT TO CORRECT THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
