Consumer Description

DELAY IN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CAN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PASS ON TWO-LANE ROADS BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. IN CRUISE CONTROL, SOMETIMES IT WON'T DECELERATE (ALTHOUGH IT RESPONDS TO BRAKING). THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW DEAD AND MUST BE REPLACED DESPITE THE CAR HAVING ONLY ~85K MILES. IT WAS SERVICED BY FORD UNDER THE POWER TRAIN RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO. I DON'T EXPECT ACTION ON THIS. I'M JUST FRUSTRATED TO HAVE TO SPEND $2K ON A 2013 CAR. I REFUSE TO LET FORD WORK ON MY CAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED IT. I TRUST MY MECHANIC MORE.
