Description of the problem | I have the same "shuddering" issues as many of these other complaints. I have had the transmission reprogrammed several times and the issue goes away temporarily and then comes back. Worse, the vehicle has stalled while driving on the highway twice. I thought the first time was a fluke because i was able to get going again, but after the second time i had it towed to a dealer. They started the car and let it run for an hour, then plugged in the computer, and called me and said they didn't find anything wrong with it. Meanwhile i see several recalls online related to engine stalling related to electrical signals and fuel pump issues. While my car doesn't have any outstanding recalls right now, i can't help but believe this is the issue. I drive over 300 miles each weekend on busy highways, and now i have a car payment on a vehicle i can't drive because no one can fix it and the problem is still there, a huge safety hazard! I will never buy a ford again, and i'm selling my stock. |
