Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 105 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car lunges forward while stopped at intersections. While on a highway in traffic rpms remained high after the transmission failed to downshift for approximately a mile. While attempting to accelerate the transmission doesn't shift up and just doesn't go. Rolls backwards down hills while trying to go forward and makes a clicking sound. Car has a really bad shutter when rounding curves and turning corners and occasionally follows with the car not accelerating. Has been to ford to be checked once already and was told it had nothing wrong with it and has a second appointment next week. I've only owned the car for 9 months and have put less than 10,000 miles on it. Sometimes the car feels like it will stall out while trying to shift up. When the car is parked can hear clicking in transmission as it rocks excessively on level ground. Car also appears to have no power when pulling into traffic from a stop and has almost been involved in several accidents because of this.

A car was coming behind use and had to serve severely, almost causing that car to roll over as it just missed hitting or right rear bumper, at about 50 miles an hour. My boyfriend then placed the car in park, and pushed the hazard light button on, but the car would not start, it took about 3 times, turning the key, to get it to start again, by the the light s turn green for the traffic in the other direction, and the cars stated to come at ours. My boyfriend, the final got the car started, and again the car leached forward very abruptly, and again jerked very hard again, and stalled once more, that happened about five times.

He tells me that he entered my car about 3 minutes later, because it was parked close to the store, he loaded the shopping bags into the trunk of the car and got in and started the car and backed out from the parking space, and then went forward he states it was about no more then 25 yards, when he noticed that the cars transmission, at first hesitated to shift, and then made a slight jerk to the next gear, then jerked once again slightly. He tells me that he then stop the car, and started again forward, and at this time, he did not feel any problems, so I again stopped the car, and put it into reverse. And backed up at 4 MPH, he did not notice any problems. He again stopped the car, and then drove again forward at 10 to 15 MPH with no problem to home. 01/20/2015 I got into my car with my boyfriend to go to work, 915 am. Boyfriend driving. We drove my car out of the apartment complex where I reside, and did not notice a shifting problem, until we entered the street, and that is when the car hesitate to shift upon acceleration, and the engine revved up loudly, and then jerked into gear. At the ford dealership my boyfriend told the service adviser about the issues with the cars transmission, and he was told by the service adviser, that ford knows about the issue, and had issued a service bulletin. He then went on to state that the ford service bulletin states that the problem is caused my a faulty transmission control module, and also a internal leak in the clutch housing on the transmission, and that ford will only repair the issue at 1,500 miles, not before that time. He also stated that the transmission could be computer tuned to help stop the problem.
