Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY SLUGGISH SINCE DAY ONE OF THE LEASE. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO ENGAGE ACCORDINGLY. UPON ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND/OR SPUTTERS, LURCHING FORWARD AND THEN HESITATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BY AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL REMAIN. I PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN SINCE IT CONTINUES TO DISPLAY THE SAME ISSUES IT HAS SINCE THE DAY WE BEGAN OUR LEASE.
