Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME DANGEROUS FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. THE TRANSMISSION WON'T ENGAGE PROPERLY WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP OF ANY KIND AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST BROAD SIDED MORE THAN ONCE. I CANNOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION JERKING AND THE CAR STOPPING LONG ENOUGH TO BE DANGEROUS. ALSO, IT MAKES A METALLIC SOUND AND FEELS AS IF IT IS GRINDING. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS SITTING AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME. THIS TIME, FORD WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED AND ANOTHER CUSTOMER HAS ALREADY BEEN WAITING FOR TWO MONTHS FOR HIS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE HELP ME GET A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE!
