Description of the problem | The car's transmission has acted up almost since the very beginning when i purchased the vehicle. This was my very first brand new car and was unaware of the car sounds and how it feels when driving it. However, a problem in the transmission started getting more noticeable as time passed by, suddenly it would slip and hesitate at low speeds. I couldn't believe it since i've had the car for only a few months. I recently took it to the ford dealership and all they did was reprogram the computer and gather information for the ford manufacturer. Now the car is even worse than before and doing things it did not do before i took it in. I want the ford manufacturer to buy back this vehicle; i don't feel secure in it anymore and i don't consider it a reliable way of transportation anymore. I'm strongly considering not to go for another ford vehicle ever again, i'd rather go with other makes and models. My experience with ford had been bad, i had this car for only a year and only 11,000 miles and i'm already dealing with the transmission. |
