Consumer Description

BEGINNING OF OCTOBER THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY BUT IT STOPPED IMMEDIATELY & THEN DROVE FINE. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MONTHS LATER, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD & THE CAR STARTED JERKING HARD AND WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION & WOULD COST OVER $4,200 TO REPLACE. A VEHICLE WITH 120,000 MILES DOESN'T TYPICALLY HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED I RESEARCH FORD ESCSPES, AS HE NOTED THEIR ENGINE & TRANSMISSION FAILURES ARE WELL KNOWN. AFTER DAYS OF RESEARCHING THE TOPIC, I SEE IT IS A FAR TOO COMMON COMPLAINT ON FORD SUVS AROUND 90,000-130,000 MILES. THIS IS A GRAVE DANGER & SOMETHING FORD MUST BE AWARE OF
