Filed Apr 28, 2018 · Brakes, Driver assistance · 160,000 miles · CA

Bought this car and 2 miles down road check engine, ABS, and the brake as well as the over drive (only one flashing) came on. The car gear shift lever pops out of gear. The vehicle has a new tranny. The vehicle stalls, and is blowing tranny fluid. It has had the compute replacee on a recall. Every issue I have found relates to recalls, yet fore told me nope zero recalls on this even after I showed him proof of a recall on the engine itself. So recalls; 07v156000, 15v606000, 12v005000, and 04v165000 somehow do not apply? So I have to crash before ford willl even look at the car. It pops out of gear! Clearly an ABS malfunction or not? All hazards.

This incident happened back in february of 2014, while I was leaving my house to take my car for an oil change, when I stepped on the gas, it suddenly just stalled at 10mph, so I released the gas and then pressed on it again, the second time was fine, but when I came to a full stop and pressed on the gas, it stalled again, after it passes 10 MPH, the vehicle was just cruising continuously. So one time my car stalled again and I almost hit the car in front of me, luckily I did not. For me this is a safety issue as well as a engine/transmission issue. This was not the only time this incident had happened. And just recently I took it ford for a diagnose and they had told me that it needs a new transmission and they quoted me $4500 to get it fixed.
