While driving on the the highway on ramp the vehicle was hard to accelerate and almost caused an accident merging on the highway. When the vehicle was scanned 16 transmission obd codes came up. The cause of the codes was a corroded connector going to the transmission. It corroded from water intrusion from water leaking from the A/C drain onto the transmission electrical connector. This is a safety issue that needs to get fixed and paid by ford for poor engineering.

The vehicle hesitates when shifting from park to reverse, or park to drive or any other gear. You have to put the car in the gear you want and wait for it to shift. It then gives a jolt when it shifts, and then you can move. At times, the car will shift to neutral when stopping for red light, and you have to move the gear to another gear then back to drive on green to move the vehicle. The vehicle only has 73,950.9 miles and the mechanic advised it needed a new transmission. The date below is an estimated date. We have had the vehicle in the shop several times in the past year.
