| Description of the problem | My van shuddered today on the middle of the highway with my two boys in tow- had to cross over to get to the side of the road for safety. Have already replaced transmission, have a faulty erg valve, the ac compressor is going out and we had to replace the cam sensor. Now have a powertrain alarm- have to go back to the mechanic to see what exactly it is... Already sank over $3500 just on fixing it's many issues. Why has this not been recalled??? Is ford waiting for folks to die like toyota did before they admit and correct the errors? *tt |
