Consumer Description

WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 25 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT TRANSMISSION EITHER GOES INTO SAFETY MODE OR STOPS WORKING ( NO FORWARD OR REVERSE, A BIT UNNERVING IN AT INTERSECTION). WHEN TRANSMISSION WARMS OR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 25 DEGREES WORKS FINE. THIS IS A REPEATABLE EVENT, SO APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT A MECHANICAL FAILURE. HAVE REVIEWED SITES AND HAVE OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND TOLD $2500.00USD TO FIX BUT THEN STATED UNCLEAR IF IR WOULD FIX PROBLEM. PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS NOT A MECHANICAL PROBLEM BUT TEMPERATURE RELATED AS AUTO WORKS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS WHEN TEMPERATURE IS WARMER. THIS IS A ALL WHEEL VEHICLE, SO DESIGNED FOR WINTER WEATHER. *TR
