Consumer Description
BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON 12/22/2013 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM DAY 3 OF OWNING IT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT GRINDS, CLICKS AND MAKES HORRIBLY LOUD NOISES. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN RAN OVER MANY TIMES. IT JERKS AND ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME EVENING TELLING IT TO. NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES IT WILL NO LONGER EVEN START AND THE LIGHT SAYS "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW." THE WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COME ON AND OFF, PERIODICALLY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE THAT THEY PUT BAD TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL OF THESE NEW CARS AND WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE'S DEATH BEFORE SOMEONE DOES THE RIGHT THING IN THIS SITUATION?
