Description of the problem | The transmission shutters very badly typically when accelerating from a stopped position. Sometimes the car will not move forward when i press on the gas and then suddenly jolt forward unpredictably. Sometimes it will get stuck in an intersection with virtually no acceleration because the transmission does not shift to the correct gear. I do not feel safe driving this car. Ford dealership looked at my car on 6/16/2015 and said they have to order a new transmission, but it will not come in for 8-12 weeks. So i am stuck driving this unsafe car for a long period of time until the new part comes in to fix the problem (if it even fixes the problem). |
