Consumer Description

VEHICLE STARTED WITH WARNING 'ENGINE FAULT SERVICE NOW'. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND MESSAGE WAS GONE. LATER THAT DAY WHILE DRIVING WE NOTICED SEVERE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE WHILE CHANGING SPEEDS AND NOTICED THE ENGINE FAULT WARNING WAS DISPLAYED. PULLED VEHICLE OVER. RESTARTED AND THE WARNING WAS GONE. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR OVER 2 DAYS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE ERROR AND THEREFORE UNABLE TO FIX ANYTHING. MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM STARTED RECURRING AGAIN WHILE REDUCING SPEED ON A HIGHWAY EXIT RESULTING IN EXTREME VEHICLE JERKING AS IF TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, AT THIS TIME WE NOTICED THE ENGINE FAULT WARNING HAD REAPPEARED. CONTACTED FORD SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WILL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK, BUT WITHOUT A RECALL THERE WILL BE NOTHING THAT CAN DO. WITH SO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IT IS ASTONISHING THAT THIS IS NOT A KNOWN RESOLVABLE ISSUE FOR FORD. *TR
