Consumer Description

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL AND IT'S CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV AT REDLINE. WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM LA OVER THE WEEKEND, THE CAR STRUGGLED THE ENTIRE DRIVE. SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE WAS ALSO OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. FORD AGREED TO BUYBACK THIS DEATH TRAP IN MID DEC 2013 BUT THEY HAVE BEEN STALLING THE ENTIRE PROCESS. APPARENTLY MY CHECK IS MISSING. I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS CAR WHEN EITHER IT BURST INTO FLAMES, THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE SEIZES. *TR
