Its rolls backwards, again as previously stated it has definite transmission issues. sometimes it won't shift very well at all. hesitating and feels like it will stall at any minute. hills are the worst, very hard to get up them. not only does it spit and sputter shifting up but you can also hear the clunking of the transmission when it shifts down. *tr
I purchased my "new" vehicle in august 2012 and very soon there after i heard a rattling noise in the front of the car. the dealership made a date for me to bring the car in. they stated that they were not able to hear the noise but that ford was aware of the problem because other people have had the problem. close to my second oil change date i brought my vehicle in and asked if they would again try to hear the noise because it drives me crazy. they again stated that they did not hear the noise and that ford is aware there is a problem. on my 10,000 check up i again asked that the service person check out the noise well apparently by this time ford had figured out that there was a shield in the transmission that needs to be sealed. on may 16th i was told the part would be at the service station in a couple of days. today is the 30th no call and no part and now i am told the end of june. i am moving out of state and need to drive my rattling broken down transmission 2,000 miles in my what was supposed to be a brand new car. august will be a year. it is not fair i still pay my loan for my broken down piece of junk. *tr
Feels like it strains as it shifts, feels like something in the transmission is not right. i am made to feel like its nothing and i know it is. i barely drive it over 25 miles per hour unless i go off the island and ofcourse there have been tire issues, kumho solus tires, tire size 185/60/15. i nearly had a deadly crash with a semi. i have filed a complaint about that also. the sync system seems to mess up alot also and gets worse with time. *tr
I bought my car in 2011, and since 2012 my air conditioner only blows hot air. i have had it replaced multiple times, but it continues to break. my transmission, after several recalls, has continued to slip and mess up. now, in the 4th year of me having my new car, i cannot pump gas at any station. when the nozzle is in the fuel tank, it continues to cut off, causing me to take 10x the amount to pump gas as it used it.
I bought my 2012 on may 1 2012, and at 101 mileage it was in for battery light on , then 08/20/12 back in for engine light and again 08/23/2012 and again12/21/2012 and again on 01/09/2013 i have always told them at time of service that the car acts funny going up a hill even a small one and they tell me its fine its just the way the runs. well i've had the engine light on a lot over the last 6 months but since they always make it sound like its me. of course when i get it in the lights off. but i've taken pics with the light on. *tr
As i accelerated, the gears began making a grinding noise. this cause the entire vehicle to vibrate and shake uncontrollably. this occurs 80% of the time when i press on the accelerator and start accelerating. also, when i try to drive the vehicle at slower speeds between 30-45 mph, the gears grind constantly and the vehicle will sometimes vibrate uncontrollably. when i first got the vehicle, it was very minimal vibration and/or gear grinding. i have had the vehicle almost 2 years now and it now has 40k miles on it. the grinding noise is now very very loud and the vehicle shakes even worse than before when accelerating. if i had the rate the vibrations/shaking of the vehicle out of 10, i would rate it a 9. when i first took it to the dealer i bought it from back in april 2012, i was told that this was the way the vehicle drives because of the type of engine/transmission. i was told the vehicle has a manual transmission and the gears are shifted by a computer. so, i took their statement at face value. now, after owning the vehicle for almost 2 years, i have been doing a lot of research and finding that several other owners are experiencing this problem. this, i believe, is definitely a safety issue because the vehicle is not performing properly and it vibrates so strongly that the entire vehicle shakes and in my opinion, this could cause loss of control of the vehicle. *tr
Check engine light comes on and car accelerates very slowly, as if taking off in second gear. as you accelerate the car shudders like it is going to die. first incident happened within 6 months of purchase. after turning car off and letting sit for a few hours problem will go away. brought car into dealership, couldn't find anything wrong. car was purchased in 2011, has happened 4 separate times since purchase date.
