Description of the problem | While driving the car at any point in time the car starts to sound like its going to die almost like i'm driving a standard but i'm not. I mostly notice it when driving in town. Yet i have noticed it when going faster as well. I purchased this vehicle brand new. I was never informed of this being "normal". I have taken the vehicle in. The person working on my vehicle said they drove it and noticed the issue. Stated that resetting the computer system would resolve this problem. Yet after having this redone. Not even an hour later i notice the issue has not be resolved and is still happening. I am afraid that i will get into a wreck, not to mention i have wasted my money on this vehicle. I feel as if i am throwing my money away completely. When talking to my sales man after having this issue not resolved. He tells me that this is an issue that everyone complains about though ford states this is normal. I have had many vehicles in my life and this is by far not normal. If this vehicle did this while i was test driving the car. I would not have purchased this car ever. Something needs to be done about this issue. Do we need to wait until someone is seriously injured from the defect before something will be done. Ford... Fix this!! |
