| Description of the problem | Vehicle shifted into 1st gear when in 6th. Ran off the road almost causing an accident. Called corporate and they said there was nothing they could do. Took it to the ford dealership for diagnostics. Bad molded lead frame. Ordered parts,dealership opened up pan and found metal shavings. Did not install parts because they said tranny was no good. Ford does not want to fix damaged tranny although vehicle now has recall for this exact issue. Contacted both corporate and dealership and pretty much told me there was nothing they can do, although they told me they would fix issue. I been lied too, made believed that issue was going to be fixed. Its been over a month of back and forth chirping with both corporate and dealership and im tired of this sick game of making customers believe they will fix the issue and turn right back around and say no. Im stuck and in disbelieve. Im making a huge deal because i had my 6month old boy in the backseat when this happend and ford could have cared less. |
