Description of the problem | I have had this car back to the dealer several times. I believe its at number 12 now. I've had the transmission clutches replaced 2 times, programmed several times and the driver predictor computer two times. The danger of the product still after all this is that when i pull onto the road it jerks, hesitates and at times loses power before surging forward. It can be while i'm starting out at a red light or pulling out onto main 70 mile an hour highway. At one time when driver predictor went out, it stalled on the main highway and i had to drift into the parking lot with a locked up steering wheel. I live in a small community and there are 3 other residents that have had the same problem. I transport my grandchildren in this auto and i lack confidence every time i pull out. This is an extreme hazard and ford can't seem to fix it. |
