 Description of the problemMy car had to go in for service twice. The issue as i described it was that the car bogs down, shudders while trying to accelerate, makes a rattling noise, and shifts incorrectly into the wrong gear. They applied a software update on 9/14 that was supposed to fix the issue, but it did not. I brought the car in today and they indicate that the transmission is leaking into the clutch. They say to pick up the car and drive it for the 10-12 days it will take to get parts. They'll fix it later they say. They will not provide a written statement of the problems they have found, as i requested. Not sure if it is safe to drive, i would think that it is not safe. The dealer is walls ford, 2 merrill st, salisbury ma 01952. *js
