Description of the problem | For the second time now, my transmission is jerking, stuttering, and hesitating, with the addition of it completely not going into drive at all this time, and the check engine light came on. This issue has been known by ford for a very long time, and you at the nhtsa have been informed as well. The dealership supposedly fixed this once, and i have that paperwork, but like thousands of other consumers who are having this issue and had it supposedly fixed, it has returned! Why are you waiting until this actually kills someone, before you do anything? My fiance was at an onramp entrance that was right at the gas station when this happened this time and because it wouldn't even switch to drive, he was almost rear ended. Someone is going to get hurt or killed with this transmission. It effects people in various ways, at various times, has caused some people to receive tickets because it refused to decelerate in school zones, which could have killed children, it stutters upon acceleration and then jerks into speed, it doesn't go into gear at times, it isn't shifting properly, and all kinds of stuff. And even when the dealership "fixes" it, it is a temporary fix and it goes back into the same issue within 40,000 miles. This is a very serious and dangerous issue that isn't being taken seriously enough! It is very well known by ford, as when i took it to dealership for this the first time, the guy (i have all his info and paperwork) informed me that just at that dealership alone, they do about three of those trans issues per day. All they do is " see history for sop. Installed bv6z 7b546 f: clutch asy. Verified concern. Check oasis. Found tsb 15-0120. Reprogrammed pcm and tcm. Cleared codes.... Removed and replaced transmission and new clutch... Reprogrammed... Etc.." which is only a temporary fix and they know it. Everyone has to bring back over and over! Someone will die!! |
