Consumer Description

CRUISE CONTROL CAUSED TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT TO COME ON. TRANSMISSION WENT INTO A VARIANCE OF NEUTRAL. FIXED BY TURNING OFF CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN. VEHICLE WORKED FINE WITHOUT USING CRUISE CONTROL UNTIL THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED VIA RECALL. EVER SINCE THEN BATTERY HAS HAD AN UNDUE AMOUNT OF BUILDUP AT TERMINALS AND SEQUENCE ABOVE HAPPENED AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS. INTERVAL NEVER MORE THAN 100 MILES. ALWAYS FIXABLE BY TURNING CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON. FORD SAYS MAYBE $7100 WILL FIX IT. AS OF 3/1/2014 TRANSMISSION WENT OUT BUT RESTART DIDN'T FIX IT. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS, BUT THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. PLEASE HELP. MOST TRANNIES COST MAYBE $2000, FORD SHOULD HAVE A BETTER FIX. OTHERWISE I LIKE THE CAR AND WOULDN'T MIND PAYING A REASONABLE AMOUNT FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACE. FORD IS SAYING $4500 IN LABOR, THERE'S NO WAY IT TAKES A WEEK FOR A COMPETENT QUALIFIED MECHANIC TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. *TR
