Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY OF 2012, THE CAR BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND RATTLE AFTER ONLY A FEW MILES OF DRIVING IT. WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF IN THE VEHICLE IT SHUDDERS AND MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES, THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESET, THE CLUTCH REPLACED ALTHOUGH THE IT'S AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO ADAPT TO MY DRIVING. AFTER 4 YEARS IT STILL DOES IT AND NO ANSWERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN. THE CAR IS UNSAFE. YOU HAVE TO PUSH DOWN HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE CAR TO GO WITHOUT IT SHUDDERING TO THE POINT OF FEELING LIKE YOU GET WHIPLASH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THESE VEHICLES TO 100,000 MILES, AND PROVIDE NO CHARGE FOR SERVICE. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM AND FORD DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT.
