 Description of the problemTransmission problems since the day i purchased it(3/31/2014). It hesitates from a dead stop or in motion, shutters when accelerating from a stop. Slips out of gear from a dead stop or in motion. After i brought it in for a recall (1/18/2017) it now slips out of gear and dealer says it needs a new clutch for $2,000 when it did not have that issue before the recall. I drive 95% highway. Car has 76,000 miles on it. It's an automatic. I've had multiple cars with automatic transmissions in them and they had over 200,000 miles on them with no issues. I believe this transmission is defective and ford needs to replace it. I have brought the car in several times beginning with the first week i had it with transmission problems. It would have been in a lot more but they stated this is normal. I now have a car i can't drive nor have $2,000 to fix it. I take very good care of my cars and expected this to last longer than 3 years before a major repair. Now with this known issue, my $30,000 vehicle that i paid for only 3 years ago is only worth about $6,000 on a trade in. I still owe $12,000 on it. How is this normal or fair. Repairing a defective transmission is not a solution since it will fail again. It needs to be replaced. Is it true that ford knew about these defective transmissions yet still installed them? This is not fair to us as consumers to knowingly be sold a defective unsafe vehicle. Please consider placing a recall on these vehicles as they are unsafe to drive in their current condition.
