Description of the problem | When trying to accelerate from being stopped at a light to complete a left turn the car would not accelerator and began to shutter even though i was pressing the gas the car did not move. I was finally able to move from traffic and narrowly avoided being hit by oncoming traffic. This is unacceptable as i need my vehicle to transport my children . I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. The vehicle is all shuttering when the transmission is trying to shift gear. If it had been disclosed the the automatic transmission was a manual transmission in this vehicle i would not of purchased it. I have had this problem for over 1 year (since i purchased the vehicle new) and i have brought to ford 4 times and each time i am told it is operating within normal peramators . The dealership replaced the clutch only after i had the car for only 3 months. I also reached out to ford corporation and was told the same thing and that there is nothing further they can do. |
