THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY BUT THAT HAS NOT HELPED THE ISSUE. THERE IS MAJOR HESITATION WHEN FIRST APPLY THE GAS PEDAL AT TAKE OFF AND IT CAUSE THE CAR TO "JUMP" OR HESITATE. THIS AS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON MAY OCCASIONS AND YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL WHEN PULLING INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I FEEL THAT IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE FIX IS SINCE THEY HAVE REPAIRED IT ONCE ALREADY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT IS THE LAST FORD PRODUCT I WILL EVER OWN, BAD DESIGN

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS TRANSMISSION SHIMMERS AND THERE IS HESITAION. ALSO WHEN STARING OFF FROM A STOP THE CAR IS SLOW AT ACCELERATING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHEN SET TO LOW OR HIGH ONLY RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN SWITCH TO INTERMITTENT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TODAY TELRAVELING AT 50 MPH BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUE IN A BAD STORM WIPERS STOPPED AND WENT TO INTERMITTENT. THE POWER TRAIN ISSUE STARTED IN 2015.

DELAYED ACCELERATION AND PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING RESULT IN UNSAFE MOVEMENT. THESE UNSAFE CONDITIONS OCCUR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, DECELERATING, AND WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE DAY I DROVE THE BRAND NEW CAR OFF THE LOT. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS YET, BUT FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE. FORD SERVICE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY TMC WHICH CONTROLS MY CLUTCH. THE TMC HAD TO BE RECALIBRATE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND A NEW CLUTCH NEED TO TO BE INSTALLED. WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE THE CAR "SHUDDERS", LOSES SPEED, HAS TROUBLE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR TAKING TURNS. AGAIN MY CAR FELT THE SAME WAY. APPARENTLY THIS TIME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TMC, BUT THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, JUST ABOUT 18 MONTHS LATER. TO HAVE MY CLUTCH REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THREE YEARS SEEMS ABSURD. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP NOTES THAT THE CLUTCH PACKAGE PUT IN MY CAR THE FIRST TIME HAD KNOWN ISSUES AND WEREN'T THAT GREAT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I'D HOPE FORD OR SOMEONE LOOKS FURTHER INTO THIS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IN THE WORKS, BUT I AT LEAST WANTED TO VOICE MY SAFETY CONCERNS. KINDEST REGARDS

WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UP A STEEP CITY STREET, THE ENGINE LUGGED DOWN AND ALMOST DIED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE REACHING THE TOP OF THE HILL. I WOULD RELEASE AND STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WOULD REV UP A LITTLE, BUT THEN THE POWER WOULD DROP OFF AGAIN ALMOST DIED EACH TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING DOWN UNDER LOAD AS IT SHOULD HAVE. IT NOW APPEARS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. IF THE ENGINE HAD QUIT, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST AND IF THAT HAD HAPPENED I MAY HAVE ROLLED BACK DOWN THE HILL, THROUGH A BARRICADE AND ONTO THE FREEWAY ABOUT 30 FEET BELOW. THANK GOD THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IT(3/31/2014). IT HESITATES FROM A DEAD STOP OR IN MOTION, SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. SLIPS OUT OF GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP OR IN MOTION. AFTER I BROUGHT IT IN FOR A RECALL (1/18/2017) IT NOW SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW CLUTCH FOR $2,000 WHEN IT DID NOT HAVE THAT ISSUE BEFORE THE RECALL. I DRIVE 95% HIGHWAY. CAR HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE CARS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS IN THEM AND THEY HAD OVER 200,000 MILES ON THEM WITH NO ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES BEGINNING WITH THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A LOT MORE BUT THEY STATED THIS IS NORMAL. I NOW HAVE A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE NOR HAVE $2,000 TO FIX IT. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS AND EXPECTED THIS TO LAST LONGER THAN 3 YEARS BEFORE A MAJOR REPAIR. NOW WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE, MY $30,000 VEHICLE THAT I PAID FOR ONLY 3 YEARS AGO IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $6,000 ON A TRADE IN. I STILL OWE $12,000 ON IT. HOW IS THIS NORMAL OR FAIR. REPAIRING A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION IS NOT A SOLUTION SINCE IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IS IT TRUE THAT FORD KNEW ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS YET STILL INSTALLED THEM? THIS IS NOT FAIR TO US AS CONSUMERS TO KNOWINGLY BE SOLD A DEFECTIVE UNSAFE VEHICLE. PLEASE CONSIDER PLACING A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION.

IF I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN ON AN INCLINE, AND I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, THE CAR WILL ROLL BACK UNTIL I AM ON LEVEL GROUND; ALL WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND EACH TIME THEY SAY THAT IT IS JUST THE WAY THIS MODEL IS AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS BECAUSE I MAY TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND BEFORE I CAN APPLY GAS I MAY ROLL INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME.

WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE, MY FORD JERKS RAPIDLY. IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS FORCIBLY IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE TO A NORMAL SPEED LIMIT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO COMPLAIN TO THE ORGINAL DEALERSHIP METRO FORD ON NOLAND ROAD OF THE ISSUE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SHUDDER TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE AND ALTHOUGH THEY STATED THEY RESET THE ISSUE THEY TRY TO CONVINCE ME THAT IT IS NORMAL WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT. THIS VEHICLE IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL AT A BUSY INTERSECTION IN THE FUTURE.

MY FOCUS HESITATES WHEN HITTING GAS AFTER I'VE BEEN STOPPED. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO HESITATE. IT'S ALSO DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON HILLY ROADS. THERE'S NO POWER AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO STALL. FORD TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I SEE PLENTY OF WEBSITES WHERE PEOPLE ARE VOICING THEIR COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T GO IN REVERSE WHEN I'M PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
