| Description of the problem | Driving approximately 30 mph, the car coasted to a stop and the wrench showed on the dashboard. Waited a short while, restarted and it was okay. Did notice some lurching and the car felt like it was in the wrong gear, prior to the second incident on 10/07/20. Driving through an intersection at 30 mph, wrench showed on dashboard and car slowed to a crawl. I had to make it through the busy intersection and off ramp from a highway in order to safely get the car off the road. I could have been rear-ended both times, to say nothing about the fear of your car just conking out in the dark at 5:30am. The 3 year/36,000 mile warranty expired may 27, 2013... And my current mileage is 35,581 miles!!!!!!!!!! 111 days over the months and 419 miles under the warranty.... So, i am paying around $300+ to have this fixed. With all the exact complaints as happened to others, i am surprised ford did not send a notice to owners to get it fixed or face the potential of being involved in a crash... Thank you. |
