Description of the problem | Transmission shudders, hesitates, and vibrates when accelerating from a stop and shifting between first and second gear. This is an automatic transmission. Sometimes the car will not accelerate quick enough so it can be dangerous when pulling into an intersection with moving cars. Ford says that it is normal. The car vibrates so bad my comatose kids (always on phone) even mention why the car feels so shaky. For a new car it is unacceptable. I have a 12 year old car that is much smoother than this and it is worth $1200. Not to mention safer. |
