Description of the problem | Dps6 transmission continuously causing problems to car from gears being skipped, takes a second for the car to get going when pressing gas then when it goes it's like a rocket blast. Stuttering when idle. When traveling down the highway and you take your foot off the gas but then needing to step on the gas to go up hill, the car doesn't accelerate properly- its a delayed acceleration. When lightly pressing the gas the car stutters and you can hear the metal gears shifting. When recalls are fixed, it leads to me having to pay for other issues to be fixed (i. E. Got fuel take recall fixed but paid $900 b/c of other damages caused from the defect- is what i was told). All of these issues have occurred since 2015 when the car was purchased used. Ford put more effort in teaching their dealership personnel how to b. S. Customers with false language of what issues are and not ever being honest. No one should be driving this death trap of a car. |
