Consumer Description

OUR 2018 STARTED JERKING UPON DECELERATION AND AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED, AS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. FORD AUTHORIZED ONLY A REPAIR. *TR WE ALSO OWN A 2014 FORD ESCAPE WHOSE TRANSMISSION QUIT WHILE OUR 2018 WAS IN THE GARAGE FOR SERVICE. IT IS MORE THAN COINCIDENCE THAT THEY BOTH HAVE THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION! THEY ARE FAULTY AND NEED RECALLED!
