| Description of the problem | We have taken this vehicle numerous times to fix the transmission and motor (eco boost 6-cylinder) the transmission does not shift smoothly, the vehicle lurches and has a lack of power/acceleration. The vehicle is in motion and experiences these problems both in city and highway driving. The nhtsa has hundreds of complaint and ford has received over 4000. The last time we took it to the dealer their explanation was: "cannot duplicate customer's complaint" this platform is faulty and somehow ford has been able to keep it off the radar. Apparently ford does not know how to fix it and continues to deny that there is a problem. |
