Have had same clutch and transmission problems as the models under recall, but my car was manufactured a few months after covered manufacturer date
The cvt transmission will occasionally shutter during acceleration from both a dead stop and low speed roll. the most common times when this will occur is when the outside temperature is above thirty degrees faherenheit. this issue will cause slow acceleration as the computer attempts to decipher which gear to shift into.
Although it's an automatic gearbox, feels like it's acting like a manual with slipping clutch when accelerating at low speeds. ie 0 to 45mph. intermittently judders, high revs low power or lack of power at times when pulling off from stationary position clutch intermittently when accelerating
Engine light came on with "engine fault service now" message. the vehicle went into limp mode and finally car shut down. i took into a ford dealership and they said the turbo and engine were not getting fuel on the highway pumped into them and would both need replaced.
Transmission module was going 60 car when to 30 mph, car can go in rev was informed by dealer. car wont start on cold or warm days not battery, clicks after trying to start and turn off.
I've gotten my vehicle's transmission serviced twice in the last year under warranty for the same problem. the transmission's clutches were replaced to supposedly fix problems with the vehicle lacking acceleration and rough shifting. even after getting the transmission serviced, the vehicle still suffered the same symptoms. the most extreme problem/concern is that the vehicle sometimes goes into neutral although it's in 'drive'.vehicle currently has 78,000 miles.
I bought the car at a ford dealer in march of this year and was steered into it without any mention of the tranny and clutch problems. sure enough the clutch is slipping at only 12000 miles! we have been waiting for a clutch to come in for 10 days so far. i contacted ford and they just said they would keep fixing it. i can`t believe that they were allowed to keep selling these cars knowing the problems that they had! we told them we were buying a car to get back and forth to the city when my bf gets his kidney transplant and this is what we are stuck paying for for over 5 more years and they say there is no permanent fix! we are scared to even drive it! it jerks into gear from low to 2 and sometimes hesitates. if it does this at the wrong time, it could get us killed!

While driving 70mph on the highway - the car immediately shifted into neutral and then after a short period, slammed into a lower gear. this could have been bad if there was any traffic as the car immediately slowed down.
The vehicle is experiencing a transmission shutter but is not included in the recall. this is a safety concern that almost caused me an accident and needs to be addressed. ford motor company is not helping and wants me to pay out of pocket.
