Consumer Description
CAR VIOLENTLY STUTTERS AND SHAKES ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. NO ACCELERATION WHEN GOING UP A HILL. CAR WAS SERVICED, BUT THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED. PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DIED AND A LIGHT SAYING THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAME ON. THE ENTIRE TCM WAS REPLACED AFTER TOWING INTO THE DEALER. SHAKING ONLY GOT WORSE. NOW THE RPMS WILL JUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS EVEN IN CRUISE CONTROL. PARTS STILL ON BACK ORDER. FORD SAYS THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS CAR AND THERE IS NO REAL FIX. THE ONLY FIX IS TO CONSTANTLY HAVE IT SERVICED BUT EVEN THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.
