Description of the problem | The same afternoon after picking up my new car i noticed jerkiness while accelerating from a stop to around 30 mph. I blew it off and thought they maybe it was bad gas that was making car run funny. It only got worse from there. So bad i was scared to even pull onto a highway cause it would act as tho it was going to stall out. Then i started noticing noises kind of a grinding noise along with the hard shifting. I took it in a dealership said it was normal and give transmission time to get " use to how i drive" the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Needless to say my new car is in shop for however long. I'm not sure i even want it back from all the other horror stories i've read. Some catching fire and such. Ford needs to recall this vehicle and put a normal transmission back into it before something serious happens to someone. |
