Consumer Description

ALTHOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS UPDATED PER THE RECALL IT PUTTS OR HESITATES/STALLS WITH THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE AND WORSE ON A REAL HILL. I CAN'T PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC QUICKNOW BECAUSE IT WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY. I TOOK IT TO FORD OF ESCONDIDO AND WAS TOLD THAT SOME PUTTING IS NORMAL BUT I KNOW THIS IS NOT RIGHT. IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. HAS BEEN SINCE LIKE 3 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT.
