Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS, LUNGES, AND DOES NOT SHIFT WELL. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR TRANSMISSION FLASH AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REBUILD AT 19,000 MILES. WAS IN FOR CHECK AND TRANS FLASH AT 29,000 MILES WEEK OF JUNE 27TH 2019. WAS IN TODAY, JULY 16 FOR CHECK BECAUSE IT OPERATED WORSE AFTER IT WAS LOOKED AT THREE WEEKS AGO. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS CLUTCH HAS TO BE REBUILT/REPLACED AGAIN...IT HAS ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS WE CANNOT TRUST THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OR MOVE PROPERLY WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PUT DOWN. FORD KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND STILL SOLD DEFECTIVE VEHICLES
