Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION/ CLUTCH HAS ALWAYS GIVEN US PROBLEMS. WE HAVE BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS MORE TIMES THEN I CAN COUNT FOR SEALS ON THE CLUTCH, REPROGRAMMING AFTER REPROGRAMMING AND REPLACING THE CLUTCH ITSELF. IT STILL SHUDDERS LURCHES AND DOES NOT DRIVE SAFELY. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP AND GIVEN UP A THOUSAND TIMES OVER THE THREE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THANK GOD IT HASN'T GOTTEN ME KILLED YET. CLUTCH GAVE OUT AGAIN THE OTHER DAY AND IT BUCK AND JERKED HARDER THAN IT EVER HAS. I PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR A WHOLE 1 MIN. WAS GETTING READY WITH MY FLASHERS TO PULL OVER THEN IT BUCKED AND ROLLED ENOUGH TO GET TO MY HOUSE... I'M NOW PAST THE FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY... $1700 QUOTE FROM THE DEALER TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART THAT WILL MOST LIKELY FAIL AGAIN WITHIN THE YEAR. HOW CAN THEY CONTINUE TO TRY AND COVER UP THIS ISSUE??
