Description of the problem | Dps6 transmission. This has been an ongoing issue and i fear for the safety of me and my family. We will be driving down the rd any type (interstate, country rds or in city) and the vehicle will loose power as if it all of a sudden goes into neutral.. This is very dangerous and a major safety concern. To be going 65 on the interstate and all of a sudden your vehicle looses power, and keeps doing it the rest of the trip. I have been in near accidents several times bc of this. Also i will be driving down the rd and the car will accelerate on its on causing the rpms to go way up and then all of a sudden it will basically go into neutral with no warning at all. This is my family's only vehicle. We have no choice but to keep driving it and risk our lifes and the life's of others daily. We still owe 11,000 on this car. Ford knew of the problem when they sold us this vehicle and now we have to suffer? When is ford going to be held accountable for this? We went to ford regarding this is issue and they reflashed the tcm and it fixed it for 3 weeks then started doing the same exact thing. They also told me if it done it again then i would need a clutch replacement. (which i would have to pay for bc the miles have exceeded the extended warranty) i am sorry but when a clutch goes bad it's going to do it all the time.. Not just randomly. I have heard from several people who did replace the clutch 3 or more times and the problem still exists. So no i will not be paying for a new clutch when i've read hundreds of comments from people stating they did just that and it didn't fix it. |
