Description of the problem | For over a year now my car has randomly stopped going into reverse, shuttering while trying to shift, hard shifting (or slamming into gear), lurching and or jumping forward (or backwards), slipping out of gear, failing to engage in a gear, and also has slipped out of gear while on the highway/ freeway and almost caused an accident. My car has 82,000 miles on it and is still under warranty but ford refuses to say anything is wrong. They did replace a shift fork, but they claim that there is nothing wrong with my car. I get the transmission fault light and randomly a message about the transmission overheating will pop up and it tells me to pull over safely and wait 5 minutes. I am being charged (basically taxed) $500 a month to have a car that i cant trust to take me anywhere and i refuse to take my niece and nephew in it because it is so dangerous to operate when every time i get in it- it does these above things. I really wish that ford would step up and do the right thing because mine is not an isolated incident. But this disabled combat veteran doesn't see ford doing anything but counting all my money they keep taking. |
