Description of the problem | While accelerating from a stop the car made a loud metallic noise and hesitated severely, then slammed into the next gear almost hitting the car in front of us, we had just purchased it the day before, got the run around for 6 weeks now, dealership says it's within ford "specs". Has done this every day, gets worse and wors , i have been beat up from the shaking, nerves shot from the unpredictable behavior of the car, every day is a near miss of bad accident, this is a dangerous issue, why is it ford not responsible? I guess we are waiting on a lost life aren't we, so sad, who's child? Wife? Father? Mother? Innocent bystander? This car will cause a fatal accident, just a matter of time, definitely a lemon, but 3 years now! It issstill being deceptively sold at every dealership, i was a victim, many others, and more to come |
