Description of the problem | I was driving to work and noticed a hitch in the automatic transmission's gear shifting. It felt like it was slowing down at moments while i accelerated. It would kick back in during those moments and start to work as normal. When i left work at a later date my car did not accelerate properly as i was merging onto a highway ramp from another ramp. A car that was coming down the blvd almost hit me but i rode off to the shoulder beyond the first ramp onto the second entrance. As i drove home i noticed a worse loss of power to the point of a feel of almost shutting down as i drove home. As i was parking i noticed my car was not working in drive. It felt like it was in neutral. I had to put it in park then back to drive to get it to go forward. One thing i notice about a year ago was that the low gear was far slower than other cars i had in the past. I mentioned it to a person at the desk at ford's repair department and they said that the low gear was just slower than it is on other cars. |
