Consumer Description
FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW, WHEN I DRIVE AT SLOWER SPEEDS (USUALLY 15-25 MPH) THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO GRIND WHEN CHANGING GEARS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, FORD IS CLAIMING THIS IS SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION AND IS "NORMAL" FOR THE CAR. BRAND NEW CARS SHOULD NOT MAKE NOISES LIKE THIS. GLAD I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MY CREDIT UNION. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT CLOSE AS QUICKLY AS THE OTHER WINDOWS. *JS
