Consumer Description

CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY TWO YEARS ON CAR SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2012. CAR WILL START SHUDDERING AND HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED, HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. FORD ONLY HAS REPLACED WITH SAME PARTS HAS NOT FIXED PROBLEM AS CAR IS ON FOURTH CLUTCH, AND I EXPECT SHUDDERING TO START HAPPENING AGAIN NEXT YEAR, WHEN THE TWO YEARS WITH CURRENT CLUTCH IS UP. WILL NOTICE IT HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE AND THEN IT BECOMES MORE FREQUENT. THEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALER HAVING THE PARTS IN STOCK AND BEING WITHOUT A CAR FOR TWO DAYS WHILE IT IS GETTING REPAIRED. FIRST CLUTCH REPLACED IN JUNE 2014, HAS BEEN EVERY OTHER JUNE SINCE THEN.
