Consumer Description
THE VEHICLE HESITATES, GRINDS AND JUMPS WHENEVER YOU PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL JUMP AND JUST SLOW DOWN EVEN IF MY FOOT IS ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ISSUE SINCE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD NUMEROUS TIMES AND EVERY TIME THE TELL ME THE "GRINDING, JUMPING, HESITATION IS NORMAL FOR AN AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION". APPARENTLY THIS IS NEW FOR FORD AS THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL AN AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MEANING THE CAR DRIVES LIKE IT WOULD BE A STICK SHIFT BUT AUTOMATICALLY DOES IT. IT IS UNSAFE! SOMETIMES THE JERKING IS SO BAD MY HEAD WILL JERK!! I FEEL LIKE I WAS RIPPED OFF WITH THIS CAR AND AM SO MAD THAT I MADE THIS PURCHASE! *TR
