Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS A BAD STUTTER FROM COMPLETE STOPS, OR EVEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN IT STUTTERS AND SHAKES. EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS THE RPM STAGGERS FROM 200 TO 800 JUST SITTING STILL. WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC GOING UNDER 40MPH THE RPM STAGGERS BETWEEN 1-2000 RPM IT'S JUST UNSAFE AND WORRISOME AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY FORD! I'VE READY SERVAL DIFFERENT BLOGS WITH VARIOUS CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! IT WOULD BE SAD FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD WON'T ADDRESS AND HANDLE THE ISSUE
