Description of the problem | The car will not start properly after refueling. You have to press on the gas several times and then the brake to start it. When it does start, you need to rev the engine a couple times to make sure it won't die again. The transmission is now slipping and drops to neutral while driving at any given time. It happened to me twice this morning while driving on the interstate. When it finally gets back into gear, it lurches forward. This morning i was nearly in an accident because of this new development in a 2 year old car. I will never buy a ford again, this is too dangerous for anyone valuing their lives. |
