Consumer Description

AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL TO REPAIR THE STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE MY VEHICLES FUEL GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE I RUN OUT OF GAS AT 1/4 TANK OR 135 MILES TO EMPTY. WHEN FILLING UP ON FUEL MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START PROPERLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER REFILLING THE FUEL TANK TO FULL. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME ISSUE THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE THAT HAPPENS MANY TIMES A MONTH. TRANSMISSION IS JERKING AND MAKES NOISE AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL WHEN I KNOW IT IS NOT. FORD HAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIPS TO TELL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE IT IS NORMAL SO THEY ARE FORCE TO LIE PER COMPANY INSTRUCTIONS. THIS VEHICLE AND ALL OTHER LIKE IT SHOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALERS FOR BUY BACK.
