Consumer Description
AT 50000 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ROUGH AND JOLTING AND I WOULD RANDOMLY LOOSE COOLANT WITHOUT ANY EXTERIOR LEAK WHICH OF COURSE THEN MY VEHICLE WOULD START TO OVERHEAT SO I TOOK IT IN. LUCKILY BARELY BEING WITHIN WARRANTY COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS A DEFECT I HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, SO MY ENTIRE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. ONE MONTH LATER I FINALLY GET MY CAR BACK TO FIND WHILE DRIVING IT HOME WAS EXTREMELY LOUD HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE WHICH WOULD SHOOT UP THE RPMS. FORD DISMISSED IT AS A SIMPLE FIX AND AFTER THEY RETURNED MY CAR IN LESS THEN 1 DAY THIS WAS YESTERDAY, TODAY I GO TO DRIVE IT TO NOW HAVE AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYING: TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW. THEY OF COURSE ARNT OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS AND LUCKILY I WASN'T STRANDED YET BUT THIS STILL MEANS I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY. THIS HAS ALL GONE ON WITHIN THE PAST WEEK AND THE ONLY THING THEY ARE DOING SO FAR IS GIVING THE REPAIR A 2 YEAR WARRANTY. GOOGLING THIS ISSUE UNFORTUNATELY AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS PERSONALLY THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THESE VEHICLES.
