Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES: DRAGGING, BUCKING, LOSS OF ACCELERATION. I HAD A CLUTCH REPLACED ON NOV. 4TH AND AFTER ONLY DRIVING 100 MILES I LOST ALL TRANSMISSION POWER TO THE CAR AND WAS STRANDED ROADSIDE. THE FORD DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAID FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND NONE OF THE REPAIRS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM.THE WARRANTY IS ONLY EXTENDED UNTIL 100,000 MILES AND THEN OUT OF POCKET WILL OCCUR. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. FORD JUST MAKES THE SANE FIXES AND STATES THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE THIS WAY. CARS JUST DON'T STOP RUNNING MID ACCELERATION AND JERK SO HARD THE CAR BUCKS.
