Description of the problem | While accelerating, clunking noises heard in the transmission. When at 80 kilometers an hour, speed was suddenly reduced to approximately 30 kph.. Causing a sudden deceleration almost caused me to be rear ended by another vehicle. According to ford, this is a known problem in the vehicle.. It cost me over $1000. To replace the pcm.. This is a direct safety issue.. I could have been killed because of a faulty part. The mechanic at the ford dealer informed me the problem exists because the pcm is placed in the main engine compartment and in a cold and damp environment, fails regularly. They replace these pcm's weekly.. So it is not just a problem for me, it is a money maker for ford. This needs to be classified as a recall issue and repaired.. |
