Description of the problem | Right after we bought the car, when we accelerate the car shutters and shakes. It will also hesitate which has caused us to almost be rear ended several times. We called dealership were car was purchased and took it in for them to test drive. Was told it need to be repaired however they didn't have a opening for 6 months . This delay was because ford could not get them the parts . We were told that's all they could do and to drive it anyway. The problem has only gotten worse. We finally got the car in and now a one day repair as we were told has turned into 3 days so far. The dealer continues to blame ford for the times and delays. When asked what other damage has now been done to the other parts of the car including to engine we were told they didn't know and ford has no plans to address it. In talking to a engineer for ford we were told there could be damage to the engine as well as other parts do to the fact they were not designed to be put under that constant stresses by the defective transmission. |
