Description of the problem | Soon after buying the car it started stalling when first accelerating leading to risk of the car stalling at intersections. The car will suddenly lurch forward and i have been very close to crashing several times. I have taken the car for service about 4 times and it works fine for about 3 days before starting again with the problem. Recently (07/31/2015) the car would not turn on and when it did it would not accelerate at all in the middle of a busy city street. A shop at a ford dealership said it was the transmission module control which they replace but 2 days after i got my car back it did it again. It would not accelerate no matter how much i pressed the pedal and i was on i95! I am concerned for my safety and the safety of my baby while in this car. |
