Consumer Description
VEHICLE BUCKED OR SHUDDERED WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR IF COASTING AND THEN GAS APPLIED. ISSUE WAS SAID TO BE FIXED AT THIS TIME 4/30/14, WHICH IT DID RUN BETTER UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 9/6/14 WHEN I POINTED OUT THE SAME ISSUE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE BELL HOUSING AND IT WAS DRIPPING ON THE CLUTCH CAUSING THE SHUDDERING. ON 9/16/14 IT WAS TAKEN TO THE GARAGE FOR REPAIR. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING SOME SHUDDERING, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE WHEN GOING SLOW BUT ALSO AT TIMES GOING FORWARD. NOT SATISFIED THAT IT IS COMPLETELY FIXED, BUT FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS/ 100,000 MILES. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE GARAGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN. *TR
