Description of the problem | My car has extreme stuttering when it shifts, as though the clutch is slipping or not engaging properly. It also does not shift when going up a hill unless the throttle is released and the rev counter is allowed to drop very low. According to news reports, ford set a deadline of 7/19/19 for warranty repairs of this issue. My local dealer confirmed this deadline and told me to call ford for information. Ford refused to confirm anything and said that i needed to schedule an appointment with the dealer to do anything. The fact that they hid a deadline for repair coverage for a known issue and that the public was only made aware when that information was leaked and reported one day before its expiration is incredibly anti-consumer and dangerous. There can be no reasonable expectation that anyone would be able to have a problem diagnosed and fixed in one day at a dealer, and ford is clearly acting in bad faith. |
