Description of the problem | I have owned this car for a very short time and have had numerous interactions where the shifting (and grinding) would cause the car to make a halting/shudder after accelerating. At this time it felt as if i were going to get hit by another car due to how abrupt the whole thing was. I have contacted ford a lot. They don't seem to concerned about the safety issues i have proposed which is why i am here. I live in alaska but purchased the car from astro ford in mississippi. I am military and now have to drive this thing back home. Thanks for listening to my complaint. |
