Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES FROM SHUDDERING, STALLING, JERKING, ROLLING BACK, GRINDING, JUMPING FORWARD AND IMPROPER SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH VARIOUS CLUTCHES REPLACED, SOFTWARE INSTALLS AND OTHER PARTS REPLACED. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUES AND THEY KEEP RECURRING. THIS IS UNSAFE AND HAS EVEN CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY, TRAFFIC WAS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I REALLY HOPE FORD DOES RECALL THESE VEHICLES OR GIVES THE UNHAPPY OWNERS A CHANCE TO TURN THE CAR BACK IN THROUGH A VEHICLE BUYBACK PLAN. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
