Consumer Description

CAR JERKS/HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION; SHIFTING IS JERKY; WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DOES NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR; FRONT LEFT VIBRATES/RATTLES UPON ACCELERATION; CAR WILL BOG DOWN WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN I GO TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL NOT GO. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN I CROSSED AN INTERSECTION AND THEN WENT TO ACCELERATE, BUT MY CAR DID NOT GO INTO GEAR. WHEN I AM ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN TRAFFIC, IF I NEED TO GET AROUND A CAR QUICKLY I CANNOT DUE TO THE HESITATION IN THE SHIFTING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE FILED A CASE WITH FORD AND AM TOLD THIS IS HOW THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO DRIVE. *TR
