Description of the problem | Bought the car on saturday. On sunday, noticed a grinding noise coming from the transmission. Also noticed transmission slipping between gears. Car does not accelerate correctly and does not shift like it should. When on a decline, the car drifts backwards if you let off the brake to accelerate. Took it to the dealer where i was told that this is all normal. Ford has informed the dealer not to fix the issues. Dealer said that ford does not have a solution to these problems. |
