Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle on august 12, 2016. I asked to see the carfax and it showed no previous problems whatsoever. The vehicle came with an extended warranty. I had no knowledge at this time there were any problems with this model or the dps6 transmission. When driving this vehicle to fayetteville, nc from my home in mt. Airy, nc, i noticed a distinct shudder when the transmission shifted from gear go gear. I was concerned if this vehicle was going to get me to my destination and back home safely without some type of breakdown on the highway. Fortunately, i was able to get home. I called the dealership, parkway ford in winston salem, nc and scheduled an appointment to have the problem evaluated. Their diagnostic determined there was a problem with the clutch. The service consultant told me it was just a problem with the clutch needing adjustment which they would take care of. I later discovered that the clutch had been replaced. The service consultant assured me that this would solve the shuddering problem and there would be no future problems along these lines. As you will see from all of my submissions that this is just the first of many. I am represented by stern law of novi, michigan in my mass action suit against ford motor company |
