Description of the problem | Was in the far left hand lane on i-15 in the mira loma, ca area going about 10-15 mph in stop and go traffic, as traffic started to clear i pressed the accelerator to increase speed and the car would not go any faster than 20 mph. I pulled off to the left hand shoulder and had the car towed to the nearest ford dealer. This is the second time this has happened. In addition, the car constantly "shudders" at low speeds to which ford has advised me is a design flaw in the automatic transmission, clutch assembly and that nothing can be done about it. |
