Description of the problem | I slowed down to make a left turn across a traffic lane and the transmission would not work. It finally kicked in and i barely missed being struck by an oncoming car though i had plenty of space originally. These vehicles are dangerous as the transmission is unpredictable. I have repeatedly had similar issues since this time but ford tells me this is 'normal' behavior. Someone is going to get killed in these cars. Do your job and make ford fix the transmission. |
