Description of the problem | I just purchased this vehicle used. I was completely unaware of the transmission issues in these vehicles. The car has 143,000 miles on it and the extended warranty that ford has given only goes to 100,000 miles. Ford will not fix my cars transmission shuddering and jerking problems. When you go from a stop to pushing the gas, the car jerks and shakes the entire car while the automatic transmission tries to shift gears. It is very unsafe and the transmission will fail due to the faulty clutch and actuators. |
