Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER FROM DAY ONE. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT FORD IS AWARE OF HAVE ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. THE CAR BUCKS AND CARRIES ON ALL THE TIME. WHILE STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT YOU PUSH ON GAS AND IT DOESN'T MOVE THEM ALL THE SUDDEN IT DARTS INTO TRAFFIC. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. THEN 2 WEEKS AGO ALL THE SUDDEN CAR OVERHEATS AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES DIES CAUSING $2000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. IM TOLD THESE ARE COMMON AND IM LUCKY IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. WHAT'S NEXT. FYI, THE LIGHTS STILL DON'T WORK WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT RECALLED??
