Description of the problem | Excess clutch shudder during acceleration in lower gears. Causes vehicle to accelerate unpredictably which could cause traffic accidents. Ford replaced the clutch a few times. But won't do it again. They say tsb 15-0120 was superseded and no longer applies to my vehicle. This problem is getting worse over time. Vehicle is at 89,354 miles over two and a half years and is driven carefully and safely, and should not have needed so many clutches in such a short time. |
