Description of the problem | I bought this car brand new , within the first 600 miles i took a trip to northern michigan ( about 200 mi. ) and the transmission " banged " into 6th gear every time it down shifted to 5th going up any grade and shifted back to 6th, other times when i go to pull out of somewhere it will act like its looking for a gear before i barely start moving , had it back to ford a number of times , they say its fine ... Now has 46000 on it , still does it , have called and sent registered letters to ford , they say buy extended warranty and work with the dealer (lol ).. They just claim they check it and even ask if i thought about trading it in ... Ya right.... What i would like is for them to fix it. Sometimes when i back out of a parking spot and put it in drive , it then too don't go , looks for a gear for a few seconds (you can hear it making noise) then will take off |
