Description of the problem | Since week 1 the car (when at a stop and in gear) if you pressed the accelerator at any level the car would do nothing then after roughly 3-6 seconds it would randomly launch forward. It would also seemingly go into neutral on the highway which led to a complete loss of engine power. This also happens when on a normal road at any speed and is completely random and one time at a red light we began to accelerate then power suddenly cut out and we got rear ended lightly. I told peter's ford in nashua nh during our 1st 3 oil changes about the issue and was told implicitly that it was completely normal and i shouldn't worry about it as it will just go away on its own. Essentially i was brushed off despite 3 complaints that never led to the dealer checking the car. These issues have been constant since we bought the car brand new in 2016. |
