Description of the problem | Vehicle transmission stutters, hesitates and shakes upon takeoff. No accident has occurred due to this condition but several close calls have occurred. The dealership that inspected the vehicle complaint could in fact replicate the complaint but stated the transmission didn't hesitate and stutter"enough" to warrant a fix. It seems waiting for a fatality is not the correct stance for ford prior to having a recall for this problem or to fix this individual transmission problem. I understand there is currently a class action proceeding regarding these faulty transmissions. The dealer readily admitted this transmission is a problem but ford does not care to address it. |
