Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE. YOU MUST SAFELY REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE ROADWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND FORD REFUSES TO HELP BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD ALL OF THE RECALLS FIXED. THIS IS PART OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER. WE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION AS IT TRIES TO SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEARS DUE TO THE CLUTCH. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS WELL BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY HAD IT RECALLED. THESE ISSUES ARE SERIOUS AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE AND UNRELIABLE. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH THE CUSTOMERS WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES.
