Consumer Description
MOST RECENT 8/14/2015, PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR LOST POWER, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. RPM'S WILL GO UP, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. REVERSE WORKS. TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE, NO CODES WILL COME UP. WHEN I BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT (9 MONTHS AGO) IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE AND HAS BEEN GOING DOWN EVER SINCE. SINCE LAST NOVEMBER (11/2014) WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHEN DRIVING THE CARS SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP DOWN TO ZERO AND A WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON WITH A FEW OTHER LIGHTS AND ACT LIKE IT IS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. AFTER TUNING THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF (KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING) AND CHECKING FLUIDS I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE THERE WAS ANOTHER CLUNK AND AFTER GETTING THE CAR UP TO ABOUT 10MPH (THE CAR IS STILL ACTING LIKE ITS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR) THERE WAS ANOTHER LOUD CLUNK AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CATCH AND ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS PROCESS REPEATS EVER SINGLE DAY UNLESS I DRIVE IT WITH THE OVER DRIVE OFF, THEN IT WILL STILL HAPPEN BUT ABOUT ONLY TWICE A MONTH. EX: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SK3ITIC2-RS HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=PX3SC2YCMEO I HAVE CALLED FORD CORPORATE AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM AND SEEM THERE ARE 1000'S OF CASES EXPLAINING THE SAME THING AND THEY WILL ONLY TELL ME "THAT'S ODD SEEMS LIKE YOUR CAR IS THE ONLY ONE THAT'S DOING THIS". I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIP, NONE OF WHICH WILL DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND A CODE. EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS A WRENCH LIGHT ON AND WILL BARLEY MOVE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED BEFORE A SEVERE ACCIDENT OCCURS. HAVE I MENTIONED THIS IS MY ONLY CAR? FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT COULD BE A COUPLE DIFFERENT SENSORS AND IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED THIS WAS THE ONLY AND LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN.
