Consumer Description
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 30 DAYS NOW WAITING TO HAVE IT'S 3RD TRANSMISSION SINCE BIRTH. IT HAS HAD TWO REPROGRAMS OF THE MODULE AS WELL. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IT SHUDDERS AND SHIFTS TERRIBLY. IT SEEMS TO WANT TO START IN THIRD OR FOURTH GEAR MANY TIMES, EXPOSING ME TO DANGER WHEN PULLING OUT INTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE BOUGHT BACK. I HAD THE TRANS REPLACED IN OCT OF 14 AND IT MADE IT A WHOLE 14 MONTHS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BUT "EXPEDITE" PARTS THAT ARE ALREADY ON BACKORDER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER AT OUR DEALERSHIP SAYS ARE FAULTY ANYWAY. FORD CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE THIS WORK AND I AM PAYING THE PRICE. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES ON THIS MAKE OF CAR BY MULTIPLE OWNERS. IT'S TIME THEY WERE FORCED TO BUT THESE PIECES OF JUNK BACK.
