Consumer Description

SAME ISSUES I'M READING HERE. VEHICLE FREQUENTLY MAKES A LOUD BANG WHEN STARTED. SHIFTS GEARS EXTREMELY ROUGH TO THE POINT WHERE YOU'RE JERKED AROUND. NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND YOU OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BECAUSE MY FUEL INJECTOR WENT OUT AT 4,500 MILES! IT DOESN'T RUN MUCH BETTER NOW. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY JUST BLEW ME OFF AND SAID IT WAS 'NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR THE VEHICLE'. READING ALL THESE ISSUES HERE, FORD REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!
