Description of the problem | It started up around 1500 miles. The car would make a sound as if i was dragging plastic under it when i come to a stop or reverse. When i get on the freeway the car would rev to high rpms then it would slip like as if it missed a shift. I have a problem where i come to a stop and the car catches up with itself and lurches forward where i have to slam my breaks. When coming off a stop i really have to put my foot to the pedal to get the car up to 25mph. Seems to be a lack of power. I have taken it in to ford already, they told me it would take up to 3 days. It was done the same day. They said they had to re-program the system. After they did this it seemed to accel and brake a lot better. It did not fix my grinding/rattling sound in the engine/transmission like i had told them it had. I told them it sounded like a shutter or clutch issue. Every where i look it says they are investigating the problem. They have been for the last 2 years on these models and still nothing. Its coming to a point im afraid to drive it. |
