 Description of the problemThe car was purchased brand new in 14. Transmission repaired 4 times, even taken off the road bc it failed ford's safety test twice. Currently still having the same transmission issue with the dps6. It shutters when driving, jerks and hesitates when taking off from a complete stop. Almost stalls out when taking off at times as well. Ford apparently issues a directive to repair the issues recently for a two week period but did not make it public. When i contacted my dealer about it they blew me off and said that i had no coverage for my transmission anymore. I have a car that was purchased for 23k with only 100 miles on it, brand new off the lot and is now only worth 4k or less. We were even told by ford that well bc of the transmission issues these cars aren't really worth anything. So now i am stuck with a valueless car, ready to break down or cause a serious accident yet again and no remedy from ford. It is a very unsafe car. You cannot drive it in the snow bc the transmission acts up to bad. When going up slight hills or stopping on hills and taking off it jerks so bad that you have to keep a foot on the brake to stop it in case it lunges into traffic. How can ford knowingly get away with this? Selling cars for 20k plus and knowing that there are serious issues with the transmission that obviously isn't repairable? 4 trips to the dealership and i am still having the same issues. Something needs done. A 5 year old car should not have this many issues or this many repairs on the same issue.
