Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING INCORRECTLY ON A BUSY HWY ...FROM SECOND TO THIRD. AND SLAMMED INTO GEAR EVENTUALLY, EXTREMELY HARD CAUSING ME TO JERK THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. DOING THE SAME THING TOOK IT BACK AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT WILL NOT THROW A CODE. I GOT ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL BLOGS ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NOT THROWING A CODE. IT DOES ALL OF THIS TOTALLY RANDOM. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT UP THE FACT OF BEING ON A MAJOR HWY OR INTERSTATE AND THIS BEING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO THEM OR THEIR FAMILY. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT DEALERS WON'T FIX. SAME TRANSMISSION IS USED IN SEVERAL CHRYSLERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE DEALERS , WARRANTY COMPANY, AND FORD KEEP PLAYING THE BLAME GAME AND PASSING THE BUCK. THIS CAN BE AS BIG AS THE TOYATO'S THAT KEPT ACCELERATING AND KILLED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. *TR
