Description of the problem | This issue started may of 2014 when my vehicle was at 13,000 miles. When at a stop light as i release my foot from the brake the car will shake in idle. Once i press on the gas the rpms will slowly go to around 2000 rpms. At this point the entire car will shake then jump into the next gear. This is highly unsafe as the car will jump forward. I have almost hit several vehicles in front of me because of this issue. Luckly nothing has happened yet however the dealership says it is operating within normal parameters established by ford. I have taken it in on two occasions and am going to a different dealership for a second opinion. From my discussions with ford's customer service the problem cannot be fixed as nothing has been diagnosed. If they would drive the car for more then a couple miles they would feel the issue. I do not feel safe in my brand new ford anymore. This issue has continued to occur on a daily basis. *js |
