Description of the problem | Purchased the vehicle new from ford. The sales person took us on a test drive during which time he advised that he car handled "differently" but that it was normal and the way that the vehicle should operate. The vehicle stalls almost completely out, hesitates to go jerks when accelerating and skips. When sitting in traffic or on surface roads with alot of stop and go the vehicle jerks, hesitates and attempts to stall out. There have been instances where it has jerked so bad it sees that the transmission was going to fall out. Ford has repeatedly said to drive it and it will work itself out. We have taken it in for service, but no fix has been made. The cost of repeatedly going to "service" these concerns is costly and time consuming, especially when no resolution seems available. We are extremely fearful that the vehicle will stall out while traveling at higher speeds on the highway. Not at all safe! *js |
