Description of the problem | Vehicle shutters on take off and rattles. The shuttering at times can become serious to the point the vehicle acts like it wants to stall. I was told that ford motor is very aware of this problem which involves a faulty clutch system but yet when checked by a computer, if the reading states certain numbers, they don't want to do anything about it! This is absurd! This vehicle is not safe to drive yet ford does not want to fix the vehicle. When i drive this vehicle at times, the vibrations are so severe that i have to let up off the accelerator in order for it to stop. That's when i'm afraid that i'll get hit. A recall needs to be done on this problem. There have been 36 lawsuits filed just in one county in pennsylvania alone for this problem nhtsa needs to step in and mandate ford for a recall. |
