Consumer Description

MY CAR SHUTTERS AND HESITATES WHEN PULLING OFF, RPMS REV UP AND GAS MI IS NOT AS ADVERTISED. IT ALSO MAKES NOISES THAT I THOUGHT WERE THE DOOR LOCKS CLICKING WHEN CAR IS OFF, LATER TO BE TOLD ITS THE TRANSMISSION IS RE-SETTING? BESIDES THAT I HAVE HAD 3 FLAT TIRES ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE CAR, FROM RIVET LOOKING THINGS THAT I THINK ARE FALLING OUT OF THE WHEEL WELL (AT LEAST 1 DID!) THIS IS MY 1ST NEW CAR AND I'VE TAKEN CARE OF IT! IN FACT I GOT IT EARLY 2013, AND AS OF NOW IT ONLY HAS 15,600 MILES ON IT! THE LAST OIL CHANGE WAS DUE AT 16,000MILES AND I HAD THAT DONE @ NOVEMBER BECAUSE THAT DATE WAS RECOMMENDED. EVERYTIME I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO FORD THEY BLOW ME OFF AND SAY THERE IS NO RECALL, WELL BS I WANT, AND DESERVE WHAT I PAID FOR, A NEW CAR, NOT A BIG HEADACHE! *TR
