Description of the problem | I started having transmission problems in 2014, ford validated the problem and put a part on order in may of 2015. In october of 2015 the part was scheduled to be put in but they ran out of parts so the appointment was postponed. A week or so later the transmission issue caused an accident. The transmission stalled/jerking as i was making a left hand turn and my son and myself were struck by an oncoming vehicle. After numerous attempts to have the vehicle fixed followning the accident, we voluntarily surrendered the vehicle to ford credit. The vehicle is not safe. |
