Description of the problem | Erratic and unpredictable behavior from transmission. Sometimes takes off quick and sometimes slow all with the same input. Shudders and searches for gears especially on hills and in turns resulting in loss of control. Most recently it had not been able to find a gear and not be able to make it uphill and had to back down a busy street to the bottom of the hill and get a running start to make it up. Ford has repeatedly attempted to repair the problem but have been unable to do so. The car is unpredictable and unsafe. |
