Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW , WITHIN THE FIRST 600 MILES I TOOK A TRIP TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN ( ABOUT 200 MI. ) AND THE TRANSMISSION " BANGED " INTO 6TH GEAR EVERY TIME IT DOWN SHIFTED TO 5TH GOING UP ANY GRADE AND SHIFTED BACK TO 6TH, OTHER TIMES WHEN I GO TO PULL OUT OF SOMEWHERE IT WILL ACT LIKE ITS LOOKING FOR A GEAR BEFORE I BARELY START MOVING , HAD IT BACK TO FORD A NUMBER OF TIMES , THEY SAY ITS FINE ... NOW HAS 46000 ON IT , STILL DOES IT , HAVE CALLED AND SENT REGISTERED LETTERS TO FORD , THEY SAY BUY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WORK WITH THE DEALER (LOL ).. THEY JUST CLAIM THEY CHECK IT AND EVEN ASK IF I THOUGHT ABOUT TRADING IT IN ... YA RIGHT....WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS FOR THEM TO FIX IT. SOMETIMES WHEN I BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND PUT IT IN DRIVE , IT THEN TOO DON'T GO , LOOKS FOR A GEAR FOR A FEW SECONDS (YOU CAN HEAR IT MAKING NOISE) THEN WILL TAKE OFF
