Consumer Description

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2014, WHILE I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE TO TAKE MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, IT SUDDENLY JUST STALLED AT 10MPH, SO I RELEASED THE GAS AND THEN PRESSED ON IT AGAIN, THE SECOND TIME WAS FINE, BUT WHEN I CAME TO A FULL STOP AND PRESSED ON THE GAS, IT STALLED AGAIN, AFTER IT PASSES 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS JUST CRUISING CONTINUOUSLY. SO ONE TIME MY CAR STALLED AGAIN AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, LUCKILY I DID NOT. FOR ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY TIME THIS INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED. AND JUST RECENTLY I TOOK IT FORD FOR A DIAGNOSE AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THEY QUOTED ME $4500 TO GET IT FIXED. *JS
