TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE IMMOBILIZER MALFUNCTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO STIVERS FORD LINCOLN (4000 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36116) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM /HIGH SPEED MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

1.0 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT WITHOUT WARNING AND CATOSTOPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WILL RESULT. THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE AND WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ANY EARLY WARNING. THE ENGINE LOOSES POWER / FAILS AND ONLY THEN DO THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I DOWNSHIFTED AND NOTED NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OUT OF NORMAL RANGES. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND LEFT ME SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED DID THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE LIGHT COME ON. THE GAUGES PROVIDED NO EARLY WARNING OF A COOLING ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW ENGINE I HAD TO HAVE FORD INSTALL IN THIS CAR AND BOTH TIMES THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. COOLING ISSUE WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. BOTH INCIDENTS LEFT ME SIT IN THE...

I BOUGHT THIS FORD FIESTA WITH THE 1.0L ECOBOOST NEW. ALL MAINTENANCE FOR THIS CAR IS UPTODATE NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE UNTIL OCT 10, 2017. I NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS WELL BELOW THE MIN. LINE OF THE COOLANT RESERVOIR ALMOST BELOW THE TURBO COOLANT LINE IN THE TANK. I IMMEDIATELY FOUND SOME APPROVED COOLANT AND ADDED IT UNTIL THE MAX. LINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT THE DAY BEFORE. I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL 3 DAYS LATER AND FOUND THAT IT WAS HALFWAY BETWEEN THE TWO LINES ON THE TANK. I FILLED IT UP TO THE MAX. LINE. I CHECKED IT AGAIN ON SAT. MORNING OF OCT. 21ST. IT HAD DROPPED TO THE MIN. LINE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. I CHECKED OVER THE HOSES AND LOOKED OVER THE ENGINE BLOCK, THE INTERCOOLER, AND WHAT I COULD OF THE RADIATOR,...

AWHILE BACK MY CAR RAN HOT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND BOUGHT SOME COOLANT TO PUT IN IT AND IT WAS FINE. LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD MAYBE 3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT MY CAR RAN HOT AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE A.C. RUNNING SO FROM THAT POINT ON I NEVER RAN THE AIR. SO APPROPRIATELY 3 WEEKS AGO MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN HE GOT THE CAR VALET HAD THE AIR RUNNING AND FROM THAT DAY IT CONTINUED TO RUN HOT. I ALLOWED IT TO COOL, ADDED COOLANT AND IT DIDN'T HELP. MY CAR PROCEEDED NOT TO CRANK. I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT I HAD BLOWN A HEAD GASKET. FROM THERE I TOWED IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DID A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I'VE BLOWN...

THE CAR SHUTTERS WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS AND IT SOMETIMES ACTS AS IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY POWER. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY KEEP RESET THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE BUT THEN IT GOES RIGHT BACK TO SHUTTERING AND NOT PICKING UP SPEED AGAIN.

SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT WORD DOCUMENT FOR FULL DETAILS. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR TWO YEARS NOW, I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. AT THE TIME I WAS COMMUTING 120 MILES DAILY TO SUPPORT A PROJECT. I WAS VERY EARLY ON THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE. I RETUNED IT FIRST FOR A DEFECTIVE TIRE, DEFECTIVE BACKUP SENSOR AND UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. KINGS FORD (CINCINNATI OH) REPLACED THE TIRE (I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TIRE), REPLACED THE BACKUP SENSOR (WARRANTY) AND 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. AFTER THIS, I RETUNED THE VEHICLE MULTIPLY TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. AFTER ABOUT TWO MORE TIMES OF KINGS FORD 'RESETTING/UPDATING' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE CLUTCHES. THIS WAS AT 20,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO KINGS FORD TWO MORE TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. EACH TIME THEY 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. YESTERDAY,...

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY CAR SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER MY PURCHASE. EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING "NOTHING IS WRONG" BUT I HAVE MY CARS VEHICLE HEALTH REPORTS THE PAST YEARS AND THEY ALL SAY THE RECALL IS AN ERROR MY CAR HAS LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HAVING TO BE TOWED, ALSO HAD THEM SUGGEST BUYING A NEW BATTERY AFTER A YEAR IS RIDICULOUS, ALSO THE FAN MOTOR ON THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STILL OVERHEATS TODAY AS WE SPEAK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN A AWFUL WORRY EVERYDAY DRIVING WILL IT OVERHEAT OR IS THE TRANSMISSION GOING TO GO TODAY? I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. FORD HAS ALSO ACCEPTED THEIR PART IN...

PURCHASED CAR IN JUNE 2014 AND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I BEGAN SEEING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE RECALL EVERY TIME I DID A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT TOOK IT IN EVERY TIME THE REPORT CAME BACK, EVERY TIME THE FORD PLACE I BOUGHT IT SAID THEY COULD DO NONTHING TO HELP IN EARLY MARCH THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY QUIT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONLY TO HAVE THE FORD PLACE TELL ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS BARELY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND SO I DID AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD KEEP BRINGING THE CAR BACK BUT FORD WOULD NOT LET THE FIX THE MODULE DUE TO WHATEVER. THEY DID EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 36K TO 60 K WHICH LEADS ME TO THIS POINT I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 MORE TIMES EACH TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE THE...

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND STALLS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC (LOTS OF START AND STOP)

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN INTO DEALERSHIP FOR FIX, BUT ONLY IS TEMPORARY. SHUTTER AND STALLS ALWAYS COME BACK (PROBLEM SINCE 2014)

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FIESTA FEBRUARY 14TH, 2014. GREAT CAR, GREAT MPG, ECT... I STARTED HAVING A JERKING MOTION WHENEVER I ACCELERATED ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING MY CAR. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO GET THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND CLUTCH FIXED 4 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. PENSKE FORD KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS "WITHIN FACTORY LIMITS" AND THE CLUTCH WAS BACKORDERED AND THAT I "DIDN'T NEED IT ANYMORE". I RETURN MY CAR TO SERVICE ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO BE TOLD THAT I REALLY NEED A CLUTCH AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME! AGAIN, CLUTCH IS BACKORDERED WITH NO ETA. MY CAR NOW IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN I AM MERGING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND IT IS NOW A SAFETY CONCERN. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLE THAT I AM PAYING MONTHLY ON. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY'VE LOST...

THIS 2014 FORD FIESTA VEHICLE HAS SOME MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES: SLIPPING, CLUNKING, CHUGGING, JERKING, SHUTTERING, AND RATTLING WHEN DOING SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE WHEN A TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WHEN I BEGIN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AND THE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THAT TIME PERIOD. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO A FORD REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC COMPLETED A REPROGRAMMING OF SOME TYPE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE REPROGRAMMING TYPICALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUES THAT THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING; BUT THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN, IN FACT, IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. THE HESITATION OF THIS VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE LEAVES ME FEELING UNSAFE. MOTORISTS IN PASSING VEHICLES ARE ZOOMING BY ME AS I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS CAR TO GO. IN ADDITION, WHEN I FIRMLY PRESS THE GAS PETAL, THE CAR HESITATES...

THE CAR SHUTTERS AND LOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AT TAKE OFF OR LOW SPEED.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON SPAN LEADING TO THE GW BRIDGE-MESSAGE STATED TRANSMISSION HOT, TURN OFF VEHICLE FOR 6 MINUTES. SECOND MESSAGE WAS "STOP OR SPEED-UP" I HAD TO NAVIGATE THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER IN RUSH HOUR AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER SINCE IT HAD BEEN SERVICED A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO ADDRESS THE RECALL ITEMS AND REPORTED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OF THE TRANSMISSION. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!

VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, IT CONTINUES TO HAVE ERRATICALLY ISSUES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS OR WHEN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF CAUSING TO HAVE DIFFICULT DRIVING AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS FAST ENOUGH WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN MADE OR MODULE INTERFACE HAS BEEN UPDATED. WE HAVE RECORDS ON MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THIS CAR. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP.

CAR STUTTERS AND JERKS WHEN MOVING SLOW, OR COMING FROM S STOP. THE DUAL CLUTCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.

THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AS WELL AS ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE IT WOULD GRIND AND KICK IT INTO NETURAL, SHIFTING TO 2ND TO 3RD THE STICK SHIFT WOILD MAKE ME GO TO 5TH INSTEAD THEN GO BACK TO 3RD. JERKING WHEN TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE A SAFE TURN.

THE 2014 FORD FIESTA HAS A VERY SLUGGISH SHIFT BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND GEARS AND THE UPSHIFT BOGS DOWN AS IF THE VEHICLE MIGHT STALL. THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT INCLUDES BUCKING, KICKING, JERKING, HARSH ENGAGEMENT, AND DELAYED ACCELERATION AND LURCHING. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHEN CHANGING LANES AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VEHICLE JERKED AND WHILE THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ALSO PARTIALLY AT FAULT, THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO A MINOR FENDER BENDER.

IN JULY 2014, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP ACROSS TRAFFIC IN A 25-MILE-AN-HOUR ZONE AND COULD NOT. THE VEHICLE STARTED THE PROCESS OF ACCELERATION, MOVING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND THEN HESITATED WHILE I WAS IN THE CROSS HAIRS OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS HESITATION CONTINUED EVEN THOUGH I FULLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. IN SHORT, I SLAMMED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT ONLY BECAUSE THE ONCOMING DRIVER TOOK EVASIVE ACTION.

I WAS TRYING TO MERGE ON TO THE HIGHWAY AFTER STOPPING AT A GAS STATION. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS AND SPEED UP. IT WAS MODERATELY TO SEVERELY SHAKING AND SHUDDERING. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO SPEED UP IN TIME I WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD BY THE ON COMING TRAFFIC ONTO THE THE SHOULDER/GRASS AREA, WITH THE OTHER CAR NEEDING TO DRIVE AROUND ME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. THE CLUTCH WAS CHANGED IN OCTOBER 2014 AS PER DEALER, BUT IN APRIL 2015 SAME ISSUES BEGAN DEVELOPING. THIS HAS BEEN THE 3RD NEAR ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATING ON TO THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SHIFTING ISSUE AND CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT. OUTSIDE THESE INCIDENTS, THE CAR IS GENERALLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AT LOW SPEEDS AS ITS ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING ABILITY CONTINUOUSLY CHANGES AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AT A...

I PURCHASED MY FORD FIESTA NEW IN DECEMBER 2014. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS IT LAGS, SPUTTERS, GRINDS AND SEEMS TO WANT TO QUIT UPON ACCELERATION IN LOW SPEEDS. IT HAS CONSISTENTLY DONE THIS FOR THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL QUIT WHILE ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

2014 FORD FIESTA SE WITH ABOUT 15,000 MILES STARTED HAVING SHUTTERING PROBLEMS THAT ARE EXTREMELY VIOLENT AND COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND IS THOUGHT TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN TO DRIVER AND OTHERS ON ROAD. I HAVE OWNS THIS CAR SINCE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWERTRAIN AROUND 14000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS A SEVERE SHUTTER PROBLEM WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS HAPPENING IS TO LET THE GAS PEDAL OUT OF GIVE IT A LOT MORE GAS. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED FROM 5 MPH TO 50 MPH THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT. THE SHUTTER JERKS THE DRIVER FORWARD AND BACKWARD VERY FORCEFULLY. I TOOK THE CAR IN UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE THIS IS NORMAL AND SENT BACK HOME. AT 15000 MILES I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THE...

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR HESITATED AND DID A JUMPING LIKE SHUDDER/SHAKING. IT STOPPED AFTER THE CAR WAS JUST ABOVE THE 20 MPH MARK. SINCE IT DID NOT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS DID NOT TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION, AND DID NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. MOST OF THE TIMES THEY TELL YOU THE HESITATION AND SHAKING NEED TO BE PRESENT WHEN THE INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF IT. I WAS RESEARCHING SOME TSB# AND FOUND OUT THIS SHAKING AND HESITATION WAS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WE (MY SPOUSE AND I) THOUGHT AND WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2013 I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, STALLING, AND JERKING FORWARD. ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2015 AT 8:00 PM I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND THE VEHICLE CLICKS ON AND OFF, THE VEHICLE STALLS AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I ALMOST GOT INTO CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. CURRENTLY GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALER EVERY TIME WHO STATES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF VARIATION SUCH AS SHUDDERING AND JERKING IS NORMAL WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS HOWEVER THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN WHERE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE SOON TO GET THESE CARS INTO OPERABLE DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TAKING OFF AFTER STOPPING AND THE TRANSMISSION OR FUEL INJECTION MISSES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT ENGAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN JUST RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HESITATES, LURCHES, AND SHUTTERS. THE VIBRATION IS BAD AND I'M WORRIED IF I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DRIVE TRAIN, I MIGHT BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PATH OF TRAFFIC DUE TO THE HESITATION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FIESTA. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING WHILE ACCELERATING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD START TO SHUDDER AND/OR BUCK WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 TIMES WITH NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING ABLE TO "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY ALSO SAID THAT BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION, THE PROBLEMS I WAS DESCRIBING ARE TO BE EXPECTED. HOW COULD A COMPANY RELEASE A TRANSMISSION THAT IS "SUPPOSED" TO BUCK AND SHUDDER? PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS THAT I FEEL ARE VERY DANGEROUS. ONE OCCURS WHEN I APPROACH A STOP AND I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE CAR WILL REV UP AND ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GO INTO TRAFFIC. ANOTHER INCIDENT IS WHEN I AM AT A YIELD AND DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN...

FORD FIESTA 2014 ENGINE EXCESSIVELY TREMBLES/JUMPS WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CAR DOES ACCELERATE ON ITSELF AT TIMES MOSTLY WHEN I HAVE AC ON OR AFTER TURNING IT OFF. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS CAR NOW. OR FIX THIS CAR AND PROVIDE CUSTOMER WITH A PAID RENTAL CAR WHILE THIS ONE IS BEING FIXED. *TR
